Evening: Psalm 89:19-52; Luke 9:51-62
Would-be
followers ask Jesus’ indulgence - to bury their father (i.e. wait until
their father dies) or to say farewell to people at home first. He
responds: “let the dead bury their own dead” and “no-one who puts a hand
to the plough and turns back is fit for the kingdom of God.” Strong
words! What’s his point? Perhaps this … Choosing to follow Jesus
demands we be clear; we may need to put some priorities ahead of our
immediate family. Jesus’ devotion is always to the well being of the
whole human family – all his sisters and brothers.
