"Just as we make a decision to surrender money for a vacation, the discipleship journey starts with a decision… a surrender. A decision to yield one's life to Christ. Thomas, along with the other disciples, decides he's willing to go to Jerusalem with Jesus even if it means he will lose his life for it. For many people, Christianity and faith are things they add to their life the way we add fitness or a hobby. The journey has to begin with losing one's life, though… full surrender."
