Video: Jesus will Cost You Everything

It is unfair of any evangelist to withhold the cost of discipleship. Following Jesus will cost you everything.

This video came across my feed and I found my self really stirred. This video is an evangelistic call quoting, in part, from the texts of the gospel and the reality of the second coming.

It holds back nothing and maps out the cost of surrendering to Jesus, plus an urgent plea to do so.

The images, the music, and the wording makes this a moving presentation.

There is no easy believe-ism in this message. There is no Believe in me and you’ll have a wonderful life. Rather, this video does good job in laying out the cost of following Jesus – it’ll cost you everything.

My reaction

As I spent the full 10 minutes to complete watching, I found myself reflecting on my own personal evangelism.

I thought about the urgency of the gospel, vs the need to give a person time to consider the claims of Jesus. I recalled my reading of Erasing Hell, by Francis Chan, and the urgency to communicate the urgent plea to people to be reconciled to God.

As I spend time with my friends and share my faith with them, this video calls me to renewed prayer for my lost friends. It provokes me to urge them to be reconciled to God.
