A gentle correction is in order.

A Christian funeral is done not only to say “goodbye” the the believer, bring confort to those who are left behind, and also to celibrate the life of that person.

That is exactly how I see it. Funerals are not for the dead. They are for the living.

And to put that in the context of Jesus’ comment, imagine Jesus was walking the earth right now and he walked up to you and said the exact same thing as in the scripture preceding the one I posted, and you said the same thing. How would you interpret the posted scripture?

Yeah, me too. I’d forget about the funeral and follow him. It’s a priority thing.

That is one of my favorite tools I use to interpret scripture. After all, it is supposed to speak to me personally, so when possible I personalize it.
