Brothers and Sisters 😊
📖 In Matthew chapter 19 today we see the rich young ruler making the ultimate costly mistake, as he values possessions and position over following Jesus and receiving a far greater reward…
“Jesus replied, ‘If you want to be perfect and complete, go sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will obtain treasure in heaven, come and follow me’…When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions” (vs 21-22).
Q. What does this wise saying mean…
If we aim at heaven we will get earth thrown in, but if we aim at earth we will get neither?
Q. Are you aiming at heaven, or earth today?
🙏 Heavenly Father I confess and repent for the many times I have betrayed you, and given you far less priority, position, devotion, and loyalty than you rightly deserve.
🙏 Lord Jesus please help us all to make you our one thing above all else, and set our hearts and minds on holding the temporary things of this world loosely, but holding tightly to the cross and giving up all that you ask for the glory of God and eternal communion with you…
✝️ “But Jesus looked at them and said, ‘With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible…Everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or lands for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold and will inherit eternal life!”
Matthew 19:26,29
