There was even a time when Jesus instructed His disciples to have a small ship awaiting Him because the crowds were so heaven and they might throng Him. He healed so many that those who had diseases pressed upon Him to touch Him so they could be healed. Unclean spirits, when they saw Him, fell down before Him and cried, You are the Son of God. He seriously ordered them not to make Him known.

Here is an interesting little story for you. A scribe came and said to Jesus, Master, I'll follow you wherever you go. Jesus said to him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has no place to lay His head.

Now wait just a minute here, you may be thinking . . . Jesus was homeless? Absolutely right. During the time of His ministry for 3 1/2 years, He had no "home." Think about that the next time you see a homeless person. The Apostles who followed Jesus, they also left their homes and families. Yep, the Apostles were homeless too.

What’s the difference between an Apostle and a disciple? A disciple is a follower of Christ. An Apostle was one of the original twelve disciples called by Jesus to preach the Gospel.

Jesus said to another disciple, Follow me, and the disciple said, Lord, I'll follow you but first let me go say goodbye to my family. Jesus answered, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the Kingdom of God. If you have put your hand to the plough, you have started working on something, or set your mind to something. Jesus meant that if you have passion for the Lord, you can't put other things above it or you're not worthy of His Kingdom. How many times has He asked us to follow Him, and we've found other things more important? Priorities are very important. This may be a good time to evaluate the priorities in your life.
