Jesus is insistent that the Christian life is costly. Caring about others, Generosity with our time, talents and resources and Obedience to the call of Christ are all very costly. The text asks us to give up all our possessions. We promise not literally, but symbolically to put Jesus Christ and Christ's way first, which in turn will give meaning to all of our relationships. Our promises to the church always end with "I will, with God's help."
