Matthew

Bible Question (short): What do you think Mt 8:20 is saying?

Question (full): In Mt 8:20 a scribe says to Jesus, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go." Jesus looks at him and says "Foxes have holes and birds have nests but the Son of man has no place to lay His head." In other places in the word he used these animals as symbolic representations of specific sins. The little foxes spoil the vine, like gossip, etc. Birds can represent hidden sins, etc. So I'm wondering in light of Jesus being part of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit, could He be referring to not being able to rest His "head" which is symbolic of "authority" in man, due to sin and people needing to clean thier "house" in order that His Holy Spirt could "rest" in us? Like, we have all these sins we have not rid our lives of and hold onto, we keep them in our lives which then gives less "abiding space" for Jesus to dwell. To me I see Him saying to walk where I walk you need to clean house so I may rest in you and dwell. Any thoughts on this one?
