Subscriber's Question and Answer

Moses asks, I need some help with Luke 9:59-62. What did Jesus mean by telling the man to let the dead bury the dead? Are we not supposed to bury people, and how can the dead bury the dead?

Answer: Great question Moses, we've all asked the same thing. The Lord gives us the answer in Mtt. 22:32 when He points out that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, is not the God of the dead, but of the living. The other verse that carries the same thought concerns God's Judgment: ... Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead... 2 Tim 4:1

There are only two kinds of people; the saved and the lost, saints and sinners, the righteous, and the unrighteous, the living and the dead. Anyone who does not know the Lord Jesus Christ personally, is still dead in their sins, only when they are born of God do they begin to live. (See Eph. 2:1)

He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. 1 Jn. 5:12

The primary purpose of Christians, the living, is to proclaim Christ's message to the ends of the earth until He comes. That is our priority above all else. We are a minority, there are not many people alive to God in your town are there? But there's plenty still dead in their sins. Let them get on with the mundane things of this world, whilst the saints are about Father's business.

In Lk. 9:59-62 Christ calls a man to leave everything and follow Him. The chap is on the spot, and tries to stall Jesus by asking to first let him bury his father. Jesus refused saying, Let the dead bury the dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.

It is possible the man's father was literally awaiting burial, but more likely the ditherer meant, 'My father is aged, let me go and care for him until he dies. Then I will follow you.' Either way, Christ called for immediate separation and devotion to His purpose. All or nothing.

He was saying, 'Let those who don't know me (the dead), care for and bury one another, but you who know me, get on with your main task.'

It was not a sanction against burying corpses, but an exhortation to be earnest and consecrated in following Christ, and proclaiming Him.

No-one who puts his hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God. Lk. 9:62

Those who are fit for service keep their eyes on Jesus, not the world.
