He said to another man, "Follow me." But he replied, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father." Luke 9:59
But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead." Matthew 8:22
"Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me." John 12:26
I these occasions, Jesus clearly stated, "leave everything behind and follow me".But why is it so hard for us to follow? To dettach from things, people and feelings and just go where He wants us to go.
Yesterday I watched a documentary about a man that left His rich Jewish family in New York to follow Jesus' voice and live on a Christian family in Alaska, woking in his relationship with God. His family couldn't understand it, and I guess that's why Jesus say, just go, because the truth is, people will never understand that unless they have also been touched by God and received a calling from Him.
- What is Jesus telling you to do? - What is Jesus asking you to leave behind?
People, things, feelings, past emotions, drugs, a violent husband, what is it?
My advice is, go! Leave everything He is asking you to leave, because the most important thing is your relationship with God and His calling.
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
Matthew 6:33
