Hugo: The Cost of Discipleship

黎明時(Pro 4:18),熊貓對烏鴉說,“我可以愛‘父母、配偶、子女、兄弟姊妹’等受造物先於愛‘Jehovah’與‘Jesus’嗎? 我可以愛‘中國文化、中華文化’等謊言先於愛‘Jesus' gospel’(Luke 14:25-33; Matt 6:9-13; Matt 10:34-39; Matt 14:22-31; Matt 28:16-20)嗎?我可以愛‘中國人、中華民族’ 等謊言先於愛‘Jehovah’(Isa 42:8; Matt 4:10; Matt 22:36-40; Ps 63:1-11)?我可以愛‘中國、中華國’等謊言先於愛‘Jehovah’s kingdom’(Matt 24:14; Matt 24:3-14; Is 42:8; Mat 4:17; John 3:16; John 17: 24-26; Mt 6:10; Dan 7:13-14; Dan 2: 28,44; Ps 2:1-12; Rev 21:1-8)嗎?”

烏鴉說,“《Holy Bible》說,‘Now great crowds were traveling with him, and he turned and said to them: If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own soul, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever is not carrying his torture stake and coming after me cannot be my disciple. For example, who of YOU that wants to build a tower does not first sit down and calculate the expense, to see if he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, he might lay its foundation but not be able to finish it, and all the onlookers might start to ridicule him, saying, This man started to build but was not able to finish. Or what king, marching to meet another king in war, does not first sit down and take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand troops to cope with the one that comes against him with twenty thousand? If, in fact, he cannot do so, then while that one is yet far away he sends out a body of ambassadors and sues for peace. Thus, you may be sure, none of YOU that does not say good-bye to all his belongings can be my disciple.’(Luke 14:25-33),你忘記了誰是統治這世界的王(John 12:31; John 14:30; John 16:11; 2 Cor 4:3-4; 1 John 5:19; Matt 6:10; Dan 2:44)?你忘記了誰是你的‘Father’(Matt 23:9; Ps 115:1-18)與‘Teacher’(Matt 23:8; Matt 14:25-31)? 你忘記了‘Your Father's house’(John 14:2)? 你忘記了‘Everlasting life’(John 3:16; Rom 2:6-7)嗎?”
