Jesus loves us so much that He gave His life for us...
And so, it’s not really hard to believe that He wants to help us in life.
Jesus even says He will ask the Father to send us the "Helper" (John 14).

Obviously, Jesus wants to help us in life...
But if you are a follower...somewhere along the way in your spiritual journey...
You will face times when following Jesus will cost you something

If you’re a follower of Jesus, you need to know that He is working toward this in your life...Jesus wants you to come to the point where you will surrender everything.

How do I know this? Notice what Jesus teaches in Luke 9...
Jesus said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me.” (Luke 9:23-24)
