There was no promise of pithy sayings, no offer of ease with Jesus. Though the entertainment value was high at times, especially when He performed a miracle, He didn't leave it at that. He asked for more from those who followed Him. Apparently, Jesus never read any marketing books because He sure didn't make it look easy. When Jesus invited Peter and Andrew to follow Him, they walked away from their jobs. Others left family, wealth and possessions, but those that followed gave up their rights and riches in exchange for a relationship with the Savior. Following Jesus was an all or nothing invitation. There isn't one example in Scripture where Jesus made an exception.
