    Stand along with the Roman Officer at the Cross of Christ and allow the Blood of Jesus to cleanse your sinfulness.

    IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT ALL OF US MUST DEAL WITH SIN ON A DAILY BASIS.

    Luke 14:25-33 is usually seen as Jesus’ advice to his disciples to be committed to him above all. But Jesus didn’t follow that advice and we thank God he didn’t because he went way beyond human logic and calculation to become our Savior and Lord.

    Luke 14:25-33 Thank God Jesus Didn’t Follow His Own Advise Jesus said, “Anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower.
