Being a disciple is about more than knowing how to witness to people.
First, it means loving Jesus at the highest level (Luke 14:26).
The second requirement of being a disciple of Jesus means being willing to bear the cross of the world’s rejection (Luke 14:27). The world will mock us if we follow Jesus with our full devotion. Jesus was implying to His disciples that if that happened to them, then that was their cross to bear for Him.
