What Following Jesus Actually Costs You

Jesus said the same cryptic phrase three times before His crucifixion: "You yourself say it." But what did He actually mean? And why did He repeat it to Judas, Caiaphas, and Pilate?
In this Bible study at House Church from Matthew 27, we break down the three ways Jesus revealed Himself - as LORD, MESSIAH, and KING - and what each one cost the people who rejected Him.
Here's what it cost them:
Judas would have to abandon his SELF-WILL
Caiaphas would have to abandon his STATUS
Pilate would have to abandon his SAFETY
But here's the GOOD NEWS: Christ lost ALL so you could never truly lose all. He was abandoned on the cross so God would NEVER abandon you.
The question isn't just "Is Jesus your Lord, Messiah, and King?" - it's "What is following Him going to cost YOU?"
This message will challenge you to count the cost of discipleship while reminding you of the incredible grace that makes it all worth it.
