I once heard an international church planter inform his team leader he was moving back to America to care for his aging parents. But the response of this usually levelheaded team leader surprised me: “What do you think Jesus meant when he told his followers to let the dead bury the dead?”I confess, I was a bit offended. Didn’t he understand we’re commanded to honor our father and mother? And yet I know Jesus calls us to forsake all to follow him.
