"you might not have any place that you could call home"
Where Is Home?
by Clarence Jordan
When Jesus said, “The son of man has nowhere to hang his hat,” he was trying to show the totality of the demands of the kingdom. He was not going around looking for people that he could bait by offering a better job:
“You can follow me.”
“How much are you paying? I’m getting $100 a week.”
“Well, I’ll give you $125.”
That isn’t the way the Lord gathered apostles or disciples. He made it clear to them that it was going to be costly, just as it had cost him, and that you might not have any place that you could call home.
