Look at the Scriptures in the Gospels when Jesus calls His disciples.
Matthew 4:18-22. "As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” At once they left their nets and followed him.
"Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him."
Look also at the story of Levi in Luke's Gospel. Luke 5:27-28. "After this, Jesus went out and saw a tax collector by the name of Levi sitting at his tax booth. “Follow me,” Jesus said to him, and Levi got up, left everything and followed him."
These passages are all stark in what they say. Look at the underlined words. At once they left. Immediately they left. Got up, left everything and followed Him. This is what is required to follow Jesus or indeed any Rabbi. There would have been plenty of other Rabbis in Jesus day. All of these would have required the same level of following and obedience when called. The question is will we do it? If you're having trouble look at this passage again from Luke's Gospel:
Luke 9:23-26. "Then he said to them all:“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit their very self? Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his glory and in the glory of the Father and of the holy angels."
Wow! Which do you want? To gain the whole world? Or to be in Glory with the Father and the holy angels? We must not make ourselves the measure of all things.
