CHAPTER 13:
COUNTING THE COST;
Jesus stressed the importance of counting the cost before you make spiritual decisions. He used
two natural examples, those of a man building a tower and a king going to war:
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and
counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all
that behold it begin to mock him.
Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first,
and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that
cometh against him with twenty thousand?
Or else, while, the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and
desireth conditions of peace. (Luke 14:28-32)
By these examples Jesus illustrated the importance of counting the costs before you make a
spiritual commitment. Just what are the costs of serving as a spiritual leader?
Thank you
