”Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, 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.” Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.” And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”“ Luke 9:57-62 NKJV
Premise
⁃ It is one thing to start the work, it’s another to finish the work. It is no secret that following Jesus requires a level of sacrifice but the mystery question is, how much?
Scriptural Insight
1. An expectation of Jesus is that when one follows HIM that they will follow THROUGH. Truly following Jesus means to follow Him where he goes and not only where we want to end up. Understanding that all security is abandoned because of faith in Him.
”Now it happened as they journeyed on the road, that someone said to Him, “Lord, 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.”“
Luke 9:57-58 NKJV
2. When following Jesus authority shifts and rules change. Lack of understanding concerning this way of thinking causes many to assume Jesus is harsh when in reality He means business.
”Then He said to another, “Follow Me.” But he said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and preach the kingdom of God.”“
Luke 9:59-60 NKJV
3. Being fit for the kingdom is determined by the standards of The Lord, living up to those standards is the responsibility of the disciple. When choosing to follow we forfeit our option to debate and trade it in for surrender.
”And another also said, “Lord, I will follow You, but let me first go and bid them farewell who are at my house.” But Jesus said to him, “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.”“
Luke 9:61-62 NKJV
