The first person is a teacher of the law, who is probably accustomed to a comfortable lifestyle. He tells Jesus that he will follow him wherever he may go. Jesus responds clearly that He does not have a life of luxury and does not even know where He will be resting at the end of the day. The second person wants to follow Jesus but only after burying his father. Jesus\u2019 response sounds harsh: let the dead bury their dead. Some scripture scholars explain that the father probably was not dead or dying, just that the son wanted to be home to claim his inheritance and then he would be a disciple. In other words, the son wanted to be a disciple on his terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These two stories remind us that discipleship is a commitment to model our lives after Jesus. Earlier in the Gospels, Peter and Andrew did not hesitate to drop their fishing nets and follow Jesus when they were called to be disciples. Jesus does not say we should count the costs of discipleship or tie up our loose ends. He simply says, \u201cFollow me!\u201d and challenges us to have faith in His call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becoming a follower is the first step to discipleship. We listen and watch Jesus, hearing his teachings and observing his actions. We are interested but not yet committed, which possibly describes the two men in today\u2019s Gospel. When we commit to modeling ourselves after Jesus, practicing His teachings in our daily lives, striving to love God and our neighbor, and are willing to take up our cross daily and follow Jesus, we have become disciples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Mike Owens is coordinator of the Passionist Alumni Association and a member of the Migration Commission of Holy Cross Province.&nbsp; He lives in Louisville, Kentucky.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Scripture: Amos 2:6-10,13-16Matthew 8:18-22 Reflection: In today\u2019s Gospel, we hear brief exchanges between Jesus and two potential disciples.
