Examples of Jesus making it hard for people to follow him
Luke 9:57-62 As they went on the way, a certain man said to him, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.” Luke 14:33 So therefore whoever of you who doesn’t renounce all that he has, he can’t be my disciple. Luke 18:22 . . . You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me. John 6:53, 60, 66 Jesus therefore said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you don’t have life in yourselves. . . . Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?” . . . At this, many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
