Matthew 8:21-22 (KJV)
21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Jesus asked one of the people who He was disciplining to follow Him. The disciple wanted to delay following Jesus until his father died – burial at these times usually happens at the same day of death. Following Jesus Christ has a cost and for this person the cost was to forsake his time with his father at home. When Jesus calls us to follow Him we should not delay “2 Corinthians 6:2 (KJV) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)”. Let us not delay for we have no idea what will happen tomorrow “James 4:14 (NKJV) whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.”.
Therefore let us be encouraged to believe in the gospel of Christ, now and decide to follow Jesus letting nothing and no one stop us.
