• PER211 The men who want to follow the Messiah Jesus

    Luke 9.57-62 presents three men who wish to follow the Messiah Jesus, each with a condition or a hesitation. Jesus responds by calling for renunciation of material comfort, for the primacy of the Kingdom over family duties, and for a determination with no turning back. This passage, unique to Luke, takes place during the journey through Samaria toward Jerusalem and is a radical call to total, uncompromising commitment to the Messiah.

    Luke 5.27 (King James Version) :
    And after these things he went forth, and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he said unto him, Follow me.
