Luke 18:22 tells us when Jesus was speaking and said sell everything and follow me.
Matthew 28:19 talks about going and making disciples of all nations.
I have a question did Jesus come in a BMW? No in fact in a donkey which was one of the lowest and humbling things for a king like him. When Jesus asked His disciples to leave their lives behind Jesus did not have anything. I am sure he must looked like a man that was completely dirty and did not have the latest clothes.
How can we as Westerners go out into the world and expect others to leave everything behind when we don't leave our own comforts, but we bring them with us.
We live way better then the locals. It has become a western culture to go out and so easily find luxury. Then we ask the people there to leave everything behind (when they have nothing) and follow Jesus.
We need to be an example. As the old saying says "Actions speak louder then words."

Are you living by example or just words?
