PER191
The price of dedication
The article “PER191 - The price of dedication” describes Jesus’ words about true discipleship at Caesarea Philippi. The biblical passages of Matthew, Mark and Luke stress the importance of personal self-denial for eternal salvation. They urge us to take up the cross daily and to remain faithful to the teaching of Christ, offering a radical view of discipleship in contrast with the religious practices of the time.
Luke 9.23-26 (King James Version) :And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the whole world, and lose himself, or be cast away?For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father’s, and of the holy angels.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
