Three Hesitate
Luke 9:51-62
Illustration

At the end of Luke chapter 9 we read the story about Jesus' final approach to Jerusalem. On his way he meets three men who wish to follow him and he warns them that it will cost them dearly to do so. To the three he says, you will be homeless, your family will be left behind, and your past life must be forgotten. As you can imagine the three, who were once so certain, are now hesitant. This story is about commitment or the lack thereof. It is about Jesus "setting his face" and three men "turning their heads."
