Are we really following the Jesus of the bible?

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.  And awhoever does not take his cross and bfollow me is not worthy of me.  Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Mat 10:37 ESV)

Are you following the Jesus of the Bible who makes radical claims on your life for the greater good or are you following the Jesus you have created and are comfortable with who lets you live a self centered American lifestyle?
