Scripture for Jan. 25, 2009: Matthew 8:18-22:
For discussion:
What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In this scripture Jesus says his followers will have nowhere to lay their heads. And he tells a disciple who wants to wait to follow Jesus until after he's buried his father: "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
How does this compare with the "Christianity of convenience" that our culture promotes? How does this compare with the "prosperity gospel" promoted by so many popular preachers? What does this scripture say about what it really means to follow Jesus?
