跟隨基督的代價與抉擇——計算跟隨耶穌的代價並作出明智信仰抉擇
耶穌以極其直白的話語向跟隨他的群眾揭示作門徒的真實代價。這番看似嚴厲的言論，並非要求我們厭惡親人，而是強調跟隨基督必須佔據生命中的絕對優先地位。耶穌用建造高塔和出兵打仗的比喻，提醒我們在信仰道路上需要清醒計算代價，作出明智的抉擇。這段經文挑戰我們檢視自己的信仰承諾：我們是否真正準備好為跟隨基督付出必要的代價？我們的信仰是否只是表面的跟隨，還是真正影響生命每個層面的徹底抉擇？

Gospel Reflection on Luke 14:25–33
What it means to be a true disciple of Christ? Jesus does not hide the cost of discipleship; instead, He makes it clear that following Him requires radical commitment, self-denial, and the willingness to carry our cross. His words are not meant to discourage us, but to invite us into a deeper relationship with Him, one that demands authenticity rather than half-hearted effort.
