A minute in Gods' word will change your life. Read through the Bible text and ask yourself the questions at the bottom of the post.
And someone came to Him and said, “Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?” And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.” Then he *said to Him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not commit murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; Honor your father and mother; and You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” The young man *said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?” Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property. Matthew 19:16-22 (NLT)
What did the rich, young ruler want from Jesus?
When Jesus told him to go and sell everything he had, why was the rich, young ruler sad?
Why did the rich, young ruler leave without doing what God asked him to do?
Would you sell everything you had, give it to the poor and follow Jesus?
Maybe money isn’t your thing, what in your life would you want to hold on to if Jesus asked you to let it go?
Is there anything in your life that is keeping you from a closer walk with God?
