The second wannabe follower of Jesus in Luke 9:44-62 must be the "elder brother" responsible type. When Jesus calls him, he responds,"first permit me to say good-bye to those at home". Nice sentiment, but also a great priority on getting my relationships and business straightened out. Maybe more important than jumping into a jaunt with Jesus?
I understand that kind of "responsible" thinking. There are so many more things that need to be in order before I can feel free to leave.
But Jesus warns the man and me to put God's promptings and kingdom first. I'd be wise to stop procrastinating and looking backwards. Let's seize the day!
