1 | Leave behind anything of no value. | Matt 8:22 | Aliyu | 4319 | ||
When Jesus said "let the dead bury their dead", he meant that, to them that were "death spiritually" took as first priority to bury the death than following after Christ, and enjoined the disciple to follow him because there are more urgent task ahead he could do than burying a dead whose eternity no man can cgange. | ||||||
2 | Leave behind anything of no value. | Matt 8:22 | Makarios | 7640 | ||
This verse is interesting.. Ryrie's Study Bible puts it this way, "Following the Lord required full commitment; therefore let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead." And I believe that this is what Aliyu meant when he wrote his post on 04-30-01 at 02:29. Nelson's NKJV Study Bible goes on to say, "This passage most likely describes a follower whose father was still alive, because by Levitical law the man would not be out in public if his father had just died. His father was aged, so the man wanted to go to his home, wait for his father to die, and then follow Christ. Jesus' answer means that we must never make excuses for refusing to follow Him. There is no better time than the present." Therefore, this passage serves to further show the level of commitment that is demanded by Jesus' discipleship. |
