Question: What did Christ mean when He said, "let the dead bury their dead"? (Matt. 8:22.) Answer: Jesus was teaching that it is more important to be concerned with doing God's Work and salvation than any other physical matter (Matt. 6:33). The context of Christ's statement reveals that He offered this man a special opportunity to participate in His ministry and teach the way which ultimately leads to ETERNAL life. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
