Becoming a disciple of Christ is not an invitation to add something to your life. Jesus is not asking for some emotional makeover when he calls people to become his disciples. In this passage Jesus says, “When you come to me, you are not just adding me to your life. I am not just decoration. I am going to take over. You will receive eternal life. You will receive a place in heaven. Your sins will all be forgiven. Grace, peace, joy, fulfillment will be yours forever. But for that gift I want to take control of your life so that I may truly fulfill it, truly satisfy it and truly use it for my glory and your good.” Jesus is calling to become the sovereign Lord and the king of your life.
