Observation:
Many ignore them; many more aren't even aware of Jesus' teachings regarding discipleship...they've been told simply to "believe" in Him. "Pop Christianity" has devolved into entertainment, not edification, and glosses over teachings about obedience to Christ, and the personal responsibilityand sacrifice that is part of true discipleship.
Matthew 16:24 - Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me."
Matthew 10:37, 38 - "He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me."
Luke 6:46 - "But why do you call Me 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do the things which I say?"
In Luke 14, Jesus has a great deal to say about the "cost of discipleship" that most so-called "christians" are probably unaware of. He also expressed prophetic concern over the condition of modern "christianity" as well:
Luke 18:7, 8 - "And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless,when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"
