Luke 9:51-62

When a man professed an interest in following Him, Jesus told him: “No one, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (v.62). The issue was probably not the man’s family (v.61) but his focus.  We can’t move ahead while looking at what we’ve left behind.
Neither cries of “Hosanna” nor shouts of hatred could deter Jesus from His goal “to give His life a ransom for many” and to pay the price to set us free (Matt. 20:28).
Where is our focus today?

I need to work on this one- many a times I find myself looking back, when I shouldn't be- I can't change the past, but sometimes- I still do think about different things in the past, and wonder, and find myself dwelling on stuff. I know I should be thinking of now and following Christ and maybe thinking of tomorrow,
but not looking back. Thank you of reminding me where my thoughts should be!
On Christ and looking ahead.

Have a good night my friend!
