“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.” Notice how Jesus starts with the 6th commandment and leaves out commandments 1-3 and 5 which say to put God first. Only after the young man asks which ones, does Jesus point out his particular idols that impede him from putting God first. Please pray that we and our friends see our particular idols and make them secondary to Christ. Please pray for Brad and Jeff’s group.
