Luke 9:51-62 | Kati Beasley | Ordinary Time | June 30, 2019
from Church of the Open Door Sermon Archives · host Worship
Kati describes Luke 9:51-62 as "one of the super-aggressive teachings of Jesus." One individual offer to follow Jesus, to which Jesus replies that though foxes have holes and birds have nests, He has nowhere to lay His head. To another person who wants first to bury his father, Jesus replies that the dead should bury the dead. And to the third who wishes first to say goodbye to his family, Jesus declares that "if your hand is on the plow but your eyes are looking backward, then you're not fit for the Kingdom of God." Luke doesn't describe any kind of response from these three people. and Kati wonders whether those empty spaces in the narrative might be an invitation for us to pause, to examine what we wrap our lives around, to consider the freedom Jesus offers, and not to be fearful of following Him.
