THE RICH YOUNG MAN
16Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"
17"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments."
18"Which ones?" the man inquired.
Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, 19honor your father and mother,'[d] and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'[e]"
20"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?"
21Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
22When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Well what I wanted to update is about this young man .... first this guy have kept the commandments from young and Jesus who is all powerful would have said he was lying if he was ...after keeping him self pure he went to Jesus and ask him what else must he do to earn eternal life ?? this amazed me
I can say everyone of us have at least broken one of this commandments once ... yet this guy did not even break it from young till then !! and more over he asks for more ... he ask whats next !! he asks whats the next stage ?? he wants to upgrade him self to a more better level ...
CAN WE DO THAT TOO ?? ASK GOD WHATS NEXT FOR US TO FOLLOW OR ARE WE JUST HAPPY WITH WHERE WE ARE ?? OR ARE WE SCARED THAT IT WILL BE TOO HARD ??
God Bless ya'll
