Mat 8:19 | MHM | STEP | v. 19 : A scribe, who was a learned teacher of the law, came to Jesus and said, Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go (Matthew 8:19 ). This sounded like a strong promise. The scribe seemed eager and determined, but Jesus knew he had not thought it through. Sometimes people are quick to make promises to God without understanding what it really means to follow him.
