To another he said, "Follow me."
Jesus said to a certain man, "Follow me." But the man replied, "I will follow you, Lord; but first
let me go back and say good-by to my family." Jesus replied, "No one who puts his hand to the
plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God."
Let's keep looking forward, as we follow our savior.
(Luke 9:59
NRSV)
Harry Jamieson was a legendary hardware salesman back in the 1940s. When he was asked how
many calls he would make on a prospect before giving up, he replied, "It depends which one of
us dies first." Jamieson is reputed to have called on one prospect 125 times before getting an
order. Another prospect caved in after a mere 40 calls. He explained, "I cannot help buying from
you; your persistence has paralyzed my resistance."
Dear Jesus, may I do well today in following in your footsteps. Amen.
