Our stay in this world is actually for business. We are here to transact business, but not many people are aware. The gifts (talents) we have been given are for business. We shall all give account and receive our rewards on the Last Day. This message is a call to duty.
Jesus Christ did not hide the cost of following Him when He was preaching and teaching. He told those He called and those who offered to follow Him the cost of discipleship, not because He wanted to discourage them, but that they may have a true understanding before finalizing their decisions. Jesus Christ did not sugar-coat the Gospel. So also, we must not sugar-coat it. This is because the message of the Kingdom, when preached correctly, produces true disciples, not superficial followers who give up when trials arise.
Matthew 4:18-22 KJV 18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
