A minute in God’s Word will change your life. Take a moment to read the text below and then answer the questions at the bottom of the post.
17 As Jesus was starting out on his way to Jerusalem, a man came running up to him, knelt down, and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked. “Only God is truly good. 19 But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You must not murder. You must not commit adultery. You must not steal. You must not testify falsely. You must not cheat anyone. Honor your father and mother.’”
20 “Teacher,” the man replied, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.”
21 Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him. “There is still one thing you haven’t done,” he told him. “Go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
22 At this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Mark 10:17-27 (NLT)
What was the man looking for when he came to Jesus?
Why did Jesus ask him to sell everything?
What did Jesus see in the man that the man did not see about himself?
What in your life would be hard to give up to go all in for Jesus?
