Gospel
Matthew 8:18-22
The Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head
When Jesus saw the great crowds all about him he gave orders to leave for the other side. One of the scribes then came up and said to him, ‘Master, I will follow you wherever you go.’ Jesus replied, ‘Foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
Another man, one of his disciples, said to him, ‘Sir, let me go and bury my father first.’ But Jesus replied, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.’
Reflection
Today Christ gave 2 very important lesson. The first is the Son of Man has no place to lay his head. Christ while it is important to create treasure on earth we must always be ready to give up glory on earth for glory in God 's kingdom. Secondly Christ said let the dead bury the dead. Christ was talking about do not dwell on the past but look forward to new life promised by Christ. Do we look forward to new life with Christ our Lord and saviour.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus today you called us to pursue eternal life. Grant we pray we will not dwell in the past but live a life full of hope guided by you oh Lord.
Amen
