Follow Jesus Christ is not comfortable

Matthew 8:20 And Jesus saith unto him, The Foxes have
holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son
of man hath not where to lay His head.

“Follow Jesus Christ” requires a commitment and sacrifice. When we follow Jesus, we're out of comfort zone. This means that “the problem” and “events not fun” will be part of our lives.A steadily Pharisee said that he wanted follow Jesus. Wherever Jesus went and he wanted followed Him. But Jesus did not respond with "yes and follow Me "but He answered " The Foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head. "

It was an uncomfortable answer. Answer which means "trouble". But earlier when
we trace from the book of Matthew was before the Pharisee was saying so we will see various kinds of miracles. Jesus healed the sick, Jesus healed the paralytic, Jesus even expel Satan. Jesus along with the people doing some miracles so that people can see the greatness
Jesus. The people might think that it good to follow Jesus. We will never hurt because
Jesus can heal. We will never starve because Jesus could feed 5000 people. We will become rich because Jesus is the king of the mighty rich.

Maybe that's what people and Pharisee mind. But Jesus knew what was on our minds. Jesus knew what is best for us. Jesus wants us to have the right motivation in the follow Him. Because the right motivation will make us a truly a son of king. Financial problems, isolation, illness
disease that struck us when we follow Jesus will makes us really depend on Him. This will make us more perfect in the presence of God and Man. God Bless you

Jesus Christ is our God
