Central truth · Listen

Jesus says that following him requires commitment, even when it brings hardship.

Lucas 9:51-62 · HTB
De tijd van zijn terugkeer naar God kwam steeds dichterbij. Jezus was vastbesloten naar Jeruzalem te gaan. Op een dag stuurde Hij enkele mannen vooruit naar een Samaritaans dorp om onderdak voor Hem te zoeken. Maar de mensen daar wilden niets te maken hebben met iemand die naar Jeruzalem ging. Toen Jakobus en Johannes dit hoorden, vroegen zij Jezus: ‘Meester, vindt U het goed dat wij vuur van de hemel laten komen om die mensen te verbranden?’ Jezus keerde Zich om en zei dat zij zich moesten schamen. Daarna ging Hij verder naar een ander dorp. Onderweg kwam iemand naar Jezus toe. ‘Ik wil U volgen,’ zei hij. ‘Het doet er niet toe waarheen.’ ‘De vossen hebben een hol om in te wonen en vogels een nest, maar Ik, de Mensenzoon, heb geen plaats om mijn hoofd neer te leggen,’ antwoordde Jezus. Jezus nodigde iemand anders uit met Hem mee te gaan. De man wilde wel, maar vroeg of hij eerst zijn vader mocht begraven. Jezus zei: ‘Laat het begraven van de doden maar over aan hen die geestelijk dood zijn. Wat u moet doen, is met Mij meegaan en de mensen vertellen dat God van hen houdt.’ Weer iemand anders zei: ‘Here, ik zal U volgen. Maar mag ik eerst naar huis gaan om afscheid te nemen van mijn familie?’ Jezus antwoordde: ‘Wie gaat ploegen en steeds achterom kijkt, is niet geschikt voor het Koninkrijk van God.’

HTB · API.Bible

Jesus’ journey toward Jerusalem frames three sharp sayings about following Him. They are not recruitment slogans designed to make discipleship sound easy.

Watch: What Jesus Said About Following Him on the Road to Jerusalem

Watch the companion video, then continue reading to examine the biblical testimony in its full context.

Watch on YouTube

The Son of Man Has Nowhere to Lay His Head.

To an eager volunteer, Jesus speaks about His own lack of settled comfort. He does not promise that following Him will secure an easier life.

Follow Me.

Another man asks first to bury his father. Jesus answers with startling urgency and tells him to proclaim the kingdom of God. Whatever the precise family circumstance, the saying refuses to make Jesus’ call indefinitely postponable.

Do Not Look Back.

A third person wants to say farewell at home. Jesus warns that the one who puts a hand to the plow and keeps looking back is not fit for the kingdom of God.

Hear the Direction of His Words.

Jesus is not praising neglect or emotional coldness. He is asserting the priority of God’s kingdom while He Himself moves resolutely toward Jerusalem. His call is serious because His mission is serious.

Consider this.

Listen closely

Hear the urgency in Jesus’ words and take His call seriously.

Wat zou er veranderen als we iedereen zouden behandelen met de empathie die we stiekem voor onszelf wensen?

Mattheüs 7:12 · HTB
Behandel anderen zoals u wilt dat zij u behandelen. Dat is in het kort wat Mozes en de profeten hebben gezegd.

HTB · API.Bible

Zelfingenomenheid verblindt ons; eerlijkheid geneest ons. Jezus ontmaskert onze hypocrisie niet om ons te beschamen, maar om ons heldere ogen te geven.
