FOLLOW JESUS!
Jesus invited a man to follow him and the man responded that first
he wanted to bury his father. Jesus responded “ALLOW THE
DEAD TO BURY THEIR OWN DEAD” Lk 9:60 NAS{Mt
8:22}. Most societies in the world have ways of showing respect,
grieving for and/or honoring their dead. Jesus’ response appears to
most of us insensitive to the man’s request. Jesus goal is not to
please people but God who guided Jesus on what to “SAY” Jn
12:49. Remember God told us that His ways are “HIGHER
THAN YOUR WAYS” Is 55:9. Jesus’ focus is on our eternal life
not on our dead bodies. Jesus tells us that if we believe in Him we
will continue to “LIVE” [Jn 11:25] when our bodies die. We need
to obey Jesus who tells us “WHOEVER OBEYS MY
TEACHING WILL NEVER DIE” Jn 8:51 GN. Do you obey
Jesus?
