Jesus invited the young man in this story to reset his priorities, to change the focus of his life. The young man chose not to do that. That he went away sad suggests that he really wanted to follow Jesus—but not if following Jesus meant actually making Jesus central to the way he lived his entire life.
- This story confronts us with the difficult question, “Which of my possessions, if any, are so precious to me that I’d choose them over Jesus?” We know the young man’s answer to the question. What is your answer?
- The disciples thought prosperity always showed God’s favor on a person. Jesus’ perspective on wealth and poverty turned their world view upside down. In our sometimes upside down financial world, how will you strengthen your trust in God and reset your valuation of earthly treasures?
