Spend your time on those that are living now and not the dead. The dead is conscious of nothing at all. Not your incessant tears, not your lavish funerals. Stop wasting time and resources. Move on. The Muslim faith understands this better. 4 Likes 1 Share |

Jesus said unto him in Matthew 8:22: “Follow me: and let the dead bury their dead.” The Spiritually dead will always bury their dead loved ones in a manner, that exhibit pride of life, which is not of god, but of the world. 5 Likes 2 Shares

He meant don't frustrate Yourself about Dead people, everyone must die so someone dieing shouldn't overly affect a living person hence the term let the dead bury the dead. I.e leave the dead to worry about themselves.. |

YoudeyVexme:Always important to read scripture in context....Jesus was saying to the would be follower who is giving excuses about following Him. It means let the other people worry about the burial you get on with the task.... It's quite insensitive linking that to Owo massacre, even though that may not be your intention. 2 Likes |

Because we will all die someday and are living and working corpses, is why Jesus said 'let the dead bury the dead'. |

Let the dead bury their dead: As shown in Lu 9:59, the father of the man to whom Jesus is talking was likely ailing or elderly, not dead. Therefore, Jesus is evidently saying: ‘Let those who are spiritually dead bury their dead,’ that is, the man should not wait to make his decision to follow Jesus, since other relatives could apparently care for the father until his death. By following Jesus, the man put himself on the way to eternal life, not among those who were spiritually dead before God. In his reply, Jesus shows that putting the Kingdom of God first in one’s life and declaring it far and wide are essential to remaining spiritually alive. 2 Likes 1 Share |

This is one of the deepest statements of The Lord Jesus. I will give you the explanation as best as I can as I have received it. It is word to the souls of men. If anyone receives the Word God but takes it lightly and encounters scorn or ridicule by unbelievers which then affects him/her! He/she is dead in spirit and thus being buried by the dead (unbelievers). 2 Likes 1 Share |
