Stories of the Kingdom: The Parables of Jesusනියැදිය

Parable of the Discipleship Cost
Jesus uses the analogy of someone building a tower or a king going to war to illustrate the importance of counting the cost before committing. He advises that one should consider whether they have enough resources to complete the task before starting to avoid being ridiculed or defeated halfway through. Similarly, Jesus says that being His disciple requires total commitment, likening it to renouncing all possessions and bearing one's cross.
What is Jesus trying to convey by using the analogies of building a tower and going to war concerning discipleship?

Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
