57 As they went on the way, a certain man said to Jesus, “I want to follow you wherever you go, Lord.” 58 Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 He said to another, “Follow me!” But he said, “Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father.” 60 But Jesus said to him, “Leave the dead to bury their own dead, but you go and announce God’s Kingdom.” 61 Another also said, “I want to follow you, Lord, but first allow me to say good-bye to those who are at my house.” 62 But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for God’s Kingdom.” |

What does it take to follow Jesus? During his lifetime, some volunteered to become disciples, while the Lord asked many to join him on his journeys. The willing needed to know the risks, while the asked needed to make a firm commitment. Following Jesus meant uncertainty, no place to call home. It also meant no hesitation, placing the necessity of spreading the Good News above the demands of family. Faith demands a steady will and a single heart. On a scale of one to ten, how would you measure your faith commitment today? |
