In today’s Gospel, Jesus encounters three would-be disciples. All three had reasons they could not follow Jesus & in fact, their refusal to follow seems almost reasonable. And all three are left behind. Discipleship is not convenient; it is not cultural; and it is not conditional. Jesus calls us to Himself, and that means leaving behind everything to which we thought we were entitled. A comfy lifestyle? Left behind. Cultural expectations for honoring traditions? Left Behind. Family? Left Behind. Jesus’ call is all-encompassing, and He brooks nothing that would stand in the way.
