2. 25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus,
and turning to them he said:26 “If anyone
comes to me and does not hate father
and mother, wife and children, brothers
and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a

whoever does not carry their cross and
follow me cannot be my disciple.

3. 34 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how

disciple.

10. 19 Do you not know that your bodies
are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in
you, whom you have received from
God? You are not your own; 20 you

honor God with your bodies.
1 COR. 6:19-20

11. To follow
Christ truly,
we must put
Him above
everything
else in life.

hand to the plow and looks back is fit

the Son of Man has no place to
lay his head.”

but once you receive it, it
costs you everything. To
truly follow Christ, we must
consider the cost and put
Him above everything else.
