The Kingdom Of God Comes First!

                                         Luke 9:62
                "And Jesus said unto them, No man, having
                    put his hand to the plough, and looking 
                      back, is fit for the Kingdom of God."

       After Jesus left the Samaritan Village, on His way which seem to be Jerusalem; a certain man said to Jesus, "I will follow you, where ever you go. Then Jesus said to another man; "Follow me." However the man ask if he could go bury his father first. Then another said the same thing; 'I will follow you" but I want to say good by first.
        In each one of situations above; Jesus makes a strong point toward faith. The first man, He tells him that foxes have holes and birds have nest; but He the Son of man had no place to lay his head. So the first thought to "faith" is what will it "cost?" The next man wanted to bury his father first. I look at it this way; if his father was dead he should have already been buried, or he was lying one. So the second thought to "faith" is doubt in yourself of being able to walk worthy. And the last man he just wanted to go say good by after he said; "I will follow you." So the third thought to "faith" is not looking back.
        My friends you cannot go back to where you came from; and follow Jesus at the same time. Nothing in you life will be straight. You will begin to play with sin and try to be godly at the same time. Your life will become as if you were living in a thick fog and can not see out. If you have chose to follow Jesus Christ, remember that God's kingdom comes first!  
        Amen!!
