LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR OWN DEAD / MATTHEW 8:22

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Matthew 8:22

 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

LET THE DEAD BURY THEIR OWN DEAD / MATTHEW 8:22

Christ’s saying means, “Let the spiritually dead bury the physically dead.” The disciple of Matthew 8:21 probably wanted to wait until his elderly father dies, which could have been years away. Yet Jesus knew that His time on earth was short, and His ministry demanded full attention and commitment. This encounter is an example of the extreme demands and sacrifices required of those who follow Christ.
