September 15, 2021 PM, Matthew 8:18-22.In tonight's message Pastor Matt continues our study in the book of Matthew where we spend our entirely of time in the eighth chapter. A scribe publicly declared that he would follow Jesus. Jesus responds that the scribe should drop everything he is doing and immediately follow Him. The scribe tells Jesus that he has a few things to do before he will follow Christ, perhaps wait for an inheritance. Christ makes it clear by responding "Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead." Jesus makes it clear that if you are to follow Him you must be immediately ready and knowing the cost of suffering and inconvenience. A true believer both believes and follows Christ. A person who believes but does not follow, does not truly believe in Him.
