Why Do You Worry?

 

Matthew 8:18-22
New International Version

The Cost of Following Jesus

18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake. 19 Then, a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”

20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me and let the dead bury their own dead.”

For Reflection

No matter what, the Christians' main directive is to follow the example of Jesus. We are asked to put all other things aside and, without delay, change even the most centered priorities in our old way of being. We are asked to abandon BEING in favor of BECOMING!

Pray

Pray and discover the new paths that God will place before you. Pray and resolve the doubts and fears that inhibit your full trust in and commitment to God. Pray and embrace the challenges of your transformation.
