Thursday 2/8/24 - "Why follow Jesus?" - Matt 8:14-27

Up to 80% of teens deny the faith when they graduate from High School. When the pressure comes, why should we follow Jesus even if the price to pay is high? "Then a scribe came and said to Him, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.” Jesus said to him, “The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” Another of the disciples said to Him, “Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father.” But Jesus said to him, “Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead.” - Matthew 8:19–22
