There is a cost to everything in life.  When it comes to learning in the school of hard knocks there are only two ways to learn.  From your pain or someone else’s pain.  Which would you choose?  We finish out our four week series Weeks of Warning under the theme Cost.  Jesus tells us that life under his cross of suffering will have a very real cost to it.  That doesn’t mean it isn’t worth it.  The warning is that it won’t always be easy.  The comfort is that we are never alone with him by our side.
