Luke 9:57-60
57 Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, I will follow You wherever You go.” 58 And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” 59 Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”
When we are drawn to follow Jesus, are we ready for the possibility of not having a house over our head or a permanent address? Could we be so about God's work that we miss taking care of elderly parents or even being unable to attend a funeral? We may not face these choices, but if we did, would we choose Jesus over comfort or family as many missionaries have over the years? Do we follow with that mindset?
