Context of Luke 14:33

31“Or suppose a king is going to war against another king. He would first sit down and think things through. Can he and his 10,000 soldiers fight against a king with 20,000 soldiers? 32If he can’t, he’ll send ambassadors to ask for terms of peace while the other king is still far away. In the same way, none of you can be my disciples unless you give up everything. 34“Salt is good. But if salt loses its taste, how will you restore its flavor? 35It’s not any good for the ground or for the manure pile. People throw it away. “Let the person who has ears listen!”

Sit down and count the cost; consider it will cost the mortifying of sin, even the most beloved…Read the comment

And he who does otherwise exposes himself to general ridicule. Nor will any wise potentate enter on a war with any hostile power without first seeing to it that, despite formidable odds (two to one), he be able to stand his ground; and if he has no hope of this, he will feel that nothing remains for him but to make the…Read the comment
