What Does Jesus Mean By Saying “Follow Me?”
This type of love for Christ is so intense that it appears to look like hate toward our own family members. Notice that this inheritance is not for this world or anything in this world, but for the world to come. God has prepared a kingdom for us and He plans to use us for His glory in the coming kingdom. That is, if we have counted the cost and forsaken all others to follow Him.
Jesus is not telling us to hate our family but to love Him as if it looks that way. We must count the cost of following Christ and this means we must die to ourselves and our own interests and live for Christ. Did you catch that?

Jesus Expects Us to Actually Follow

He saves those whom He will. We respond with belief and trust in Jesus…that is, we believe in His life , death and Resurrection trusting that with His death our sins are buried with Him and with His Resurrection we are promised guaranteed everlasting Life with Him.
We are indeed called to love Him more than anything and to daily take up our cross and follow Him. It is only through His Grace and forgiveness and mercy which is continually bathing His followers that we journey onward and upwards to our final home, right? As always Doc, a good word from you.
