To be a disciple means to be a follower. For Christians, this means being a follower of Jesus Christ. And being a disciple is hard! Jesus gave us a list of VERY difficult things that you must be willing to do if you want to be His disciple. You might not be called to do all of the things that He lists, but you definitely have to be willing to. And if you want to be a disciple of Jesus it's going to be difficult no matter what. Following Jesus is hard but it is SO with it!
