But First

As Jesus was traveling along, a man declared that he would follow Him wherever He went. However, when the man was told that there would be nowhere to lay their heads, the man was gone. Others came promising to follow Jesus but only after they were permitted one last delay. Many today in moments of spiritual high or temporary inspiration declare that they will follow Jesus only to later offer many excuses why they cannot. Jesus chillingly pronounces that such people are not fit for the kingdom of God. Are you sold out to Jesus today? Or are you still offering reasons for your delay?
