Hey Guys,
I wanted to know what these couple of verses mean.
I have a thought but I'm unsure how to make it clear.
Luk 9:59 And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Luk 9:60 Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
I can deduce that if one preaches the kingdom of God one can truly understand death?
I would appreciation some clarification

Eph 4:18 Having the understanding darkened, being
alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart:
