"And it came to pass, that, as they went in the way, a certain man said unto him, Lord, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God."
In today's lesson Jesus made it very clear that we are to let nothing stand in our work as we work to spread the word of God to the lost. That includes friends and family, God comes first. Nothing in our lives should be more important than spreading the good news of redemption from sin through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.~
