THE CHALLENGE OF FOLLOWING JESUS
source
Matthew 8:19-22
Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” But Jesus told him, “Follow me,and let the dead bury their own dead.
REFLECTIONS:
Jesus told the crowd the hard truth and never misled them. It is not easy to be a disciple of Jesus Christ... Following Jesus would be a challenge.
Jesus told us to follow Him and let the dead bury their own dead. He made it clear that to follow Him meant putting Him before our family, friends, children, work, business etc.
As disciples of Jesus, we are taught that there may be a high price to pay to follow Jesus, to remain faithful and to obey the commandment of Jesus. In our zeal to provide for our family, friends, etc, do we remember or forget that we are DISCIPLES of CHRIST?
