“. . . someone said to Him, ’Lord, I will follow You wherever You go’...” —Lk. 9:57 Our Lord’s answers were not based on some whim or impulsive thought, but on the knowledge of “what was in man.” Luke 9:58. These words destroy the argument of serving Jesus Christ because it is a pleasant thing to do. He says that we must let everyone else come or go, and that we must be guided solely by our relationship to Him. And He says, “. . . the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” Luke 9:59. We put our sense of loyalty to our relatives ahead of our loyalty to Jesus Christ, forcing Him to take last place. When your loyalties conflict, always obey Jesus Christ whatever the cost. Luke 9:61. The person who says, “Lord, I will follow You, but . . .,” is the person who is intensely ready to go, but never goes. Once the call of God comes to us, we must start going and never stop.
