The cost of following Jesus

In Matthew 8:18-22 Jesus' words seem a bit harsh.
But the point He is making there is clear. Following Jesus is not always easy. It often requires us to chose to leave other things behind - even good things like family.
Now when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side. And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead.”
