Bible Question:
i came across some things that i didnt quite get the meaning of whilst reading through a passage in the bible and was hoping if someone can clear it up for me. It's from Matthew 8:20-22 talking about the cost of following Jesus and the sentences i didnt get were "foxes have dens and birds have nests but the son of man has nowhere to lay his head" and "Follow me and let the dead bury their own dead". much appreciated |
Bible Answer: Hi, gladdish... Following Christ has great cost associated with it. For some it can mean the loss of their homes, the loss of their families, and the loss of their possessions. It is the abandonment of the temporal things of the world for the eternal things of the Kingdom of God (cf Matthew 19:27ff). In Him, Doc |
