Will you be entertained, amazed, interested in Jesus or will you become one of the believers in Him who follows Him (becomes a disciple)? Our readings begin with a bunch of people who delay becoming disciples because of the cares of this world. None of their excuses are bad - they are just wrong! The time to follow Jesus is now - not when it is convenient or expedient.
Many people were pressing in and making contact with Jesus, but it was only the woman with the blood flow that was healed by His contact. The others were curious, but she was in great need and believed Jesus could help her. See the vast difference.
Jesus has never advocated lukewarm belief and discipleship. He has always asked for our wholehearted commitment. That's why there are so few really saved people and many, many pretenders and those entertained, amazed, and interested.
