Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.

— Matthew 8:23

True disciples follow Jesus. Just before this verse a follower of Jesus said, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father, before I follow you.” Apparently there were things in his life that were keeping him from being a diligent disciple of the Lord. He was unwilling or unable to truly walk with and follow the Lord. He was not (in the end) a genuine disciple, because true disciples follow Jesus.

Today’s Goal

Is there anything in your life that is keeping you from fully following Jesus? Lay it down! Jesus is greater.
