To follow Jesus, one must make radical decisions and be brave

Today we hear several teachings of Jesus. They all have one thing in common: the Lord asks for a radical response. Is God exaggerating? No! Jesus Christ is not a madman who ends up dying on a cross because He went too far. Love is never excessive; rather, it is always radical. Love leaves no one “indifferent.” —Do you think it is possible to love without being inconvenienced? A sword against my comforts; peace for others! So, are you surprised to see Christ on the Cross?
