Matthew 8:19–22: “A scribe came up and said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’ 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.’ Another of the disciples said to him, ‘Lord, let me first go and bury my father.’ And Jesus said to him, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.’”(ESV)
A religious leader and another of Jesus’s disciples are taught in these verses two very important lessons about following Jesus…
1) Before you say impulsively, “Lord I will follow You wherever you go!” – COUNT THE COST!
2) But when the invitation/the call comes,.. SAY “YES!” DECISIVELY and don’t begin to make excuses!
