It's an expedition... and it's dangerous! You've lost it all and you're on the banks of the River of Doubt. Any of us, at any time, might be summoned to give up everything quite literally and respond to a new emergency situation. If we're not ready for that, Jesus says we are "like the tower-builder or warmonger" who has not thought through what they are really about. More on that subject from a parable that has stumped many a follower.
