Matthew 19: 24 Then Jesus said to his followers, “The truth is, it will be very hard for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom."
The rich young man had followed the 10 Commandments. He asked what else he needed to do in order to enter heaven. Jesus said he should sell everything and follow him. The young man was very sad, because he couldn't do that.
I wonder about us. We are so privileged, and we don't want to lose our things either. So many of us think we are going to heaven, but we love our privileges. It's so good that we have grace. We really are unworthy.
Prayer: I am sorry, Lord, that I am so much like the rich young man. Help me to focus on what is truly important. You are so great, and I am weak.
Amen
