It references Jesus' admonition to his disciples to preach the gospel to all nations, while simultaneously warning them of the potential hardships that obedience might entail. The text likens the disciples' mission to sending \"sheep into a wolf pack,\" emphasizing the need for harmlessness and gentleness, contrasting it with aggressive behavior. The document details various aspects of this \"cost of obedience,\" including facing unjust trials, enduring physical suffering like whipping and torture, and relying on divine guidance for communication with adversaries. It further highlights the potential for strained relationships within families and friendships due to differing beliefs and choices. Ultimately, the document acknowledges that some may face death for their faithfulness, promising divine rewards for such ultimate sacrifices. The accompanying imagery visually represents these themes, depicting figures facing persecution, trials, and spiritual journeys, reinforcing the narrative of hardship intertwined with faith. The content serves as a profound reflection on the demanding nature of devout adherence and the intrinsic value placed on unwavering commitment in the face of adversity.","The Cost of Obedience  \nEnglish  \n1  \nGo into all the world and preach the gospel.  \n2  \nJesus sent His disciples out topreach the gospel to all nations, but before they started, He gave thema warning.  \n3  \nJesus said the cost of obeying Him would be like sending sheep into a wolf pack.  \n4  \nJesus told His disciples they should behave like harmless doves, and NOT attack as wolves would do.  \n5  \nHe said the cost of obedience could mean being delivered up to unfair trial, as a criminal.  \n6  \nHe said the cost of obedience could mean whipping and torture.  \n7  \nHe said obedient Christians would have to rely on the Holy Spirit for their words, when speaking to wicked people.  \n8  \nThe cost of obedience would also mean splitting up families and friends, because not everyone wants to obey God.  \n9  \nAnd some Christians would be put to death for their obedience-for which God will one day reward them.","cbCaim1acGtjVJWK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaim1acGtjVJWK","pdf",4808669,2,1,15,"English","en",105,"# The Cost of Obedience\n## 1.
