A third man wanted to follow Jesus with all his heart, but the word "but" is a knife that cuts the tie between many who are prepared to believe and Jesus, their Lord. What separates your from following Jesus completely? Your relation with your family, or your daily needs? Your Lord asks you to separate yourself completely from your lower clan, and prepare yourself poverty, hunger, and self-denial. The following of Jesus does not happen except by holy decision, and complete determination. You cannot serve two masters.
Christ warns those who began to follow him not to look back at their corrupt past, in order that they should not be like the plowman who puts his hand strongly to the plough, but at the same time looks behind, and then he makes balks with his plough, or the plough may be broken on a rock. Direct your heart completely to Christ’s grace, separate yourself entirely from your old spirit, and dare to enter into the kingdom of God that you may become the wise plowman of God, and bear much fruit.
