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." (Matthew 8:21-22 ESV)
When I read these verses, I always think to myself what I would have done if Jesus posed that question to me. Obviously it was a different time and a different culture, but is my faith strong enough to walk away from earthly loves? It is a question I do not know that I can answer. To date, I really have not been presented with anything close to that situation. I have been presented with situations where I had to make a choice to refrain from an activity, but never to walk away from family.
What are your thoughts?
