“And behold, a man came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do to have eternal life?” And he said to him, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments.” He said to him, “Which ones?” And Jesus said, “You shall not 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 I have kept. What do I still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.”

All,

This stands out because Matthew says, “When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.” How good are we at following Jesus in the areas that come easy to us? Jesus is concerned with transforming ALL of us and each of us have a area that we don’t want to submit to God. As long as we don’t submit that area, we will have two masters and that doesn’t work. Please pray that we and our friends submit all of ourselves to Jesus. Please pray for Danelle.
