1 Kings 19:19-21

The Call of Elisha

19 So Elijah went and found Elisha son of Shaphat plowing a field. There were twelve teams of oxen in the field, and Elisha was plowing with the twelfth team. Elijah went over to him and threw his cloak across his shoulders and then walked away.

20 Elisha left the oxen standing there, ran after Elijah, and said to him, “First let me go and kiss my father and mother good-bye, and then I will go with you!”

Elijah replied, “Go on back, but think about what I have done to you.”

21 So Elisha returned to his oxen and slaughtered them. He used the wood from the plow to build a fire to roast their flesh. He passed around the meat to the townspeople, and they all ate. Then he went with Elijah as his assistant.

…

When Elijah called Elisha to follow him, Elisha “Killed the Cows and Burned the Plow!”

He pretty much had a “Barbeque” and fed the whole community, then he broke and burned his plow that he used for his livelyhood. This was a symbol of his no turning back mentality.

…

Elisha was willing to leave his life of luxury and comfort behind to become Elijah’s apprentice.

…

What are you willing to leave behind to follow JESUS?
