Before Jesus' arrest, Peter asks where He is going, and Jesus replied,

"Where I am going you cannot follow Me, but you will follow Me afterward" (John 13:36).

Post-resurrection, Jesus says simply to Peter,

"Follow Me" (John 21:19).

To live for Christ means to die to self.

Following Christ WILL cost you everything.

And yet, as Jim Elliott once said, he is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose!
