The reading from Luke 9:57 – 62 invites us into reflecting on the work of being a follower of Christ. Christ calls, “Follow me!” But the people who hear the call pull out nothing but outrageous excuses. Discipleship is hard work. Grace is free, but it’s not cheap. When have we responded to God with the opening words: “But Lord…”? In building a faith we are called into faithful responses, lifelong commitments, and covenant living. Still Jesus calls, because Jesus knows the journey is worth the effort. Join Pastor Lib in examiningThe Case of the Would-Be Follower: “But Lord….. I Have a Really Good Excuse.”
