Matthew 5:19-20Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven… For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

If Jesus had said: "Follow me and you will have comfort, wealth and possessions beyond the dreams of avarice", then we would have no need for commentaries by learned professors. We would say "I understand full well what that means - I'll follow, and where do I collect the money?" But because Jesus actually says, "Take up your cross and follow me", we suddenly find that we need commentaries and professors of biblical studies to tell us that Jesus didn't really mean, or even say, "take up your cross" and, if he did, he didn't mean me!

Mark 10:43-45“..whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

No sacrifice. That’s dumb. I have more fun than most people. People are always telling me to take it easy or I’ll burn out, but a couple of years later it always turns out that they’ve burned themselves out and I haven’t. The bible doesn’t say anything about looking after yourself, does it?
