May all be blessed to follow Jesus TO Jesus!

Question 1: “How do we deal with This Word of Jesus in Luke 9:57-62? ‘As Jesus and his disciples were proceeding on their journey, someone said to Him, ‘I will follow you wherever You go.’?”
Answer: “Few of are blessed to ‘follow’ Jesus to the death He received for being The Living Word of God in Human Form.”
~
Question 2: “What does this mean: ‘Jesus answered him, ‘Foxes have dens and birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to rest His head.’?”
Answer: “It means that Jesus, unlike earthly beings, never stops working to help His people.”
~
Question 3: “Why did Jesus say this? ‘And to another He said, ‘Follow Me.’ But that man replied, ‘Lord, let me go first and bury my father.’ But Jesus answered him, ‘Let the dead bury their dead. But you, go and proclaim the Kingdom of God.’
Answer: “Jesus is telling him, and us, to use every opportunity to tell people that their immortal soul will go to Heaven, if they meaningfully obey His Command: ‘Follow Me!’”
~
Question 4: “What is Jesus teaching us in This Word? ‘And another said, ‘I will follow You, Lord, but first let me say farewell to my family at home.’ Jesus answered him, ‘No one who sets a hand to the plow and looks to what was left behind is fit for the Kingdom of God.’”
Answer: “When we see there is One Church on earth that was given ‘the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven’, we must do all we can to get those ‘keys’ for our soul and those of our families and neighbors.”
~
Question 5: “Where do those Teachings of Jesus lead those who obey His Command to ‘Follow Me!’?”
Answer: “Jesus is telling us all: ‘Get these ‘keys’ and encourage others to get them! ‘And I say unto you, thou art Peter and on this rock I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I give you the keys to The Kingdom of Heaven.’”
~
Jesus is tells every person on earth to: “Follow Me!”. Those who meaningfully do so know we must: “Be Catholic!” We do not avoid The Church He died to leave us on earth.
