Reading From Luke 9:51-62 NLT Samaritan Opposition, The Cost of Following Jesus. Discussion makes a connection to the Samaritan woman who came to Jesus as her daughter needed healing. Are we following Jesus with our own ideas of where He is going like the man who told Jesus he would follow him anywhere? Or is there an area where we are making excuses for not following His lead like the man who has to "bury his father"?  Don't look back at your old life, press on!
