This chapter shows a few of the different responses people can have when they encounter Jesus. The centurian and the leper recognised and believed Jesus power. Do I believe in that same power today? Do I really believe it?
Following Jesus isn't easy, Jesus himself makes that clear. I don't want to be somebody who gives up because of difficulties (the Son of Man has nowehere to lay His head) or make excuses, putting it off (first let me bury my father), or even push Jesus away because of fear of His power (owners of the pigs). Jesus just says follow me and doesn't tell us much of a route map of what will happen when we do, but it is the best place to be and I want to follow wholeheartedly.
