DEEPER WALK: Deeper Cost The cost for our sinfulness is intense. The wages of sin is death.  But death is not a part of God’s original plan for life. Death in the world moves Jesus to tears.  And there is a cost to Jesus’ ministry. It would find him hanging on a cross to his own death. The cost of following Jesus is high. This world will hate us. But our response is not retaliation, but compassion. We are to love the world as Jesus loves us, willing to pay any price to see the kingdom of God grow.
