Some things can’t wait
Luke 9.51-62Jesus begins a new stage of his ministry, directed towards Jerusalem. He responds to hostility with calm tolerance. He asks for absolute commitment from those who want to follow him. For many, this makes for a difficult decision as they have plenty of other priorities and distractions. Jesus communicates a sense of urgency, encouraging his disciples to forgo everyday tasks in favour of the tasks of the kingdom of God.
Some things in life can wait. Other things have to be dealt with immediately. The call of Jesus requires instant and wholehearted attention but that is not always easy and challenges how we consider our priorities.
This week we explore how following Jesus is both important and urgent.
