Luke 9:57-62 As they were walking along the road, a man said to Jesus, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” He said to another man, “Follow me.” But the man replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-bye to my family.” Jesus replied, “No-one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
(Listen Q’s:) If I answered you like Jesus did, what would you think about me?
How do you think the three people that Jesus answered felt about His answer?
What difference does it make, that it was Jesus who said this?
How do you think you would feel if Jesus said these things to you right now?
Matthew 10:37-39 Jesus said “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it."
(Listen Q’s:) Do you think Jesus is truly worth such a commitment?
Are you ready to follow Jesus like this? Or do you need more time to discover who Jesus truly is?
