Luke 18:18-27

A certain ruler approached Jesus to ask about what he needed to do to inherit eternal life. Jesus responded that the young ruler should know the commandments. JesusÕ response was good for the young ruler because he had kept the law from his youth. Just like the rich young ruler, you also have kept all the law from youth. Above all, you have been constant in the church, you know all the praise and worship songs, and you and your pastor are very close. This is JesusÕ answer to the rich young ruler: Luke 18:22, ÒSo when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, ÒYou still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.Ó One thing, just one thing, is enough to terminate the journey into eternal inheritance. The rich young ruler had it all except for one thing which is difficult. It was difficult for him to sell all and then follow Jesus to receive all that it takes to inherit eternal life.  What or how many things do you lack? God cannot be deceived because His eyes go to and fro. Be honest with yourself in identifying what you lack. Jesus requested from you and the young rich ruler to go and sell all that you have. Selling all means that you will have to follow Him fully and nothing should hold you back. After selling all, you we also give your attention to the neediest ones. The determination to sell all and follow Him will not prevail except by the spirit of God. Ask God to deliver you from anything that will deny you from your inheritance in His Kingdom. Be encouraged; you can do what Jesus requested if you will always remember Luke < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>18:27, ÒBut He said, ÔThe things which are impossible with men are possible with God.ÕÓ
