Matthew 19: 16-22
Jesus counted His status as nothing. The King of all kings came to serve. He willingly died for you and me. He had everything, and left it for us. I can't even wrap my head around this.
Reading the story of the rich young ruler who had everything. He was in position of power. He followed all the 10 commandments. But you can see he wasn't willing to follow Jesus. He even asked Jesus in verse 20, "what do I still lack?" Well, Jesus told him what he didn't want to hear, "Sell everything, and follow me".....I think we would all have a problem with selling "EVERYTHING!" I know I would be like, "Jesus, did I hear you right? I will follow You. But do I really have to sell everything?" To be honest, I wonder if God were to ever speak that to my heart now, how would I respond? I would only hope, and ask Him to help me respond obediently. I think this is something we should all ask ourselves.
"If more of You, means less of me, take everything."......Hard truth!
Read the rest of the verses 25 - 30, and may it speak to our hearts and change us as only He can.
For Your glory Lord
