Luke 14: a follower of Jesus may not be his disciple.

We read:

25-27 One day when large groups of people were walking along with him, Jesus turned and told them, “Anyone who comes to me but refuses to let go of father, mother, spouse, children, brothers, sisters—yes, even one’s own self!—can’t be my disciple. Anyone who won’t shoulder his own cross and follow behind me can’t be my disciple.

There was a large group of people following Jesus. Jesus could have said: "Blessed are you who follow me because the kingdom of heaven is yours.". But he told another thing: "there is a great price to be my disciple and if you don't pay this price you are not my disciple". What is price? To see Jesus as much more important than spouse, children, etc. It is necessary to see Jesus as much more important than our own comfort.

The difference between a follower and a disciple is that the disciple lives for Jesus - Jesus is his top priority.
I can't say that I have left everything to follow Jesus as Peter said. May the Lord make Jesus my top priority because I am like a foolish sheep that get lost from time to time.
