"Caveat Emptor"! This is a Latin term that economists and business experts are familiar with. It means, "Let the buyer beware." If you have ever been suckered into a bad deal or made a bad purchase, you don't need to go to business school... you already understand this principle very well. In Matthew 16, Jesus has a very serious and genuine discussion with His disciples on what it means to be a disciple. It is almost carries a "Buyer Beware" tone to it. To follow Jesus is to share in His sufferings and to share in self-denial, sacrifice and cross-bearing. To follow Jesus is to live in the constant tension of colliding worlds. In this message, Pastor Derek Holmes looks at how, even though the Christ-life offers great promise, it also bears great difficulty. But, there is still no life greater than the disciple life.
