The Tower Builder and the Warring King
Lukas 14:25–33discipleshipcost
Count the cost like a builder estimating a tower or a king deciding whether to go to war.
Yeshua is not recruiting; He is warning. Discipleship is not a casual emotion. The man who starts and quits is mocked; the king who marches without counting is destroyed. He demands a clear-eyed yes from the start — He is worth it, but you must know what 'yes' means.
- Devarim 20:5–8Yisrael before battle — let those who fear go home
