Jesus called on disciples to give up their wealth and their familial ties. In his society, family was the individual's source of identity, so renouncing it would mean becoming virtually nobody. In Luke 9:58–62, Jesus used a hyperbolic metaphor to stress the importance of this, and another in Luke 14:26: "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple." There are different interpretations of this text on counting the cost of discipleship.[19]

Becoming a "Disciple" of Jesus ain't no joke. But becoming a church member is easy and becoming a christian is easy. But that Discipleship is a completely different "ball game'. And after playing, for a while, you want to pick up your ball and BAT. and go home.
