Saint James the Greater: The Cost of Discipleship

Описание: Who was Saint James the Greater?
A fisherman.
A man of zeal and ambition.
One of the first called by Christ.
And the first Apostle to give his life for the Gospel.
In this video, we tell the story of Saint James the Greater — from his calling by the Sea of Galilee, through his closeness to Jesus as one of the inner circle, to his martyrdom in Jerusalem.
Saint James teaches us that following Christ comes at a cost.
To walk with Jesus is to drink the same cup.
And true discipleship always demands everything.
