As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” Jesus replied, “Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”

2. Am I willing to choose Jesus before comfort?

3. Am I willing to choose Jesus before security?

Luke 9:61–62

So Elijah went from there and found Elisha son of Shaphat. He was plowing with twelve yoke of exen, and he himself was driving the twelfth pair. Elijah went up to him and threw  his cloak around him. 

Elisha then left his oxen and ran after Elijah. ‘Let me kiss my father and mother good-by,’ he said, ‘and then I will come with you.’ ‘Go back,’ Elijah replied. ‘What have I done to you?’ 

So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his attendant. 1 Kings 19:19-21
