The One thing you Lack and the Only Thing You Need

Have you ever felt like something is missing in your life? In Mark 10:17 a rich young man runs up to Jesus because he feels like something is missing in his life. Now you would think that Jesus would tell this young man that following him was the one thing that he was missing. And of course you would be right, but that isn’t all Jesus tells this man. We talk a lot about needing Jesus but in this passage Jesus makes it clear that it is not enough to simply know that you need Jesus. In this passage Jesus calls this man to trust that He is all that this man needs. Its not enough to know that you need Jesus, until you believe that Jesus is all that you need there will always be something missing from your life.
