Rediscovering Discipleship - Disciples of Christ Have Proper Priorities - October 13, 2024

Mark 10:17-27 With God's law written on our hearts in our consciences, it's only natural for us to assume that knowing right and wrong and living a good life should be enough for us to earn eternal life. A rich young ruler in Jesus' time thought the same thing, but even though he felt he had followed God's laws perfectly, he still wasn't sure he had eternal life. Something was missing! Jesus gave him the ultimate test, to give up everything he owned, to help him realize his priorities were messed up. Sadly, he loved his wealth too much to give it up. What is it that you couldn't give up for Jesus? Money? Free time? A loved one? Looking at Jesus' love for us helps us set our priorities straight.
