Answer the Questions

1. What does this story from Matthew 19 tell us about

• The rich young man?
• Jesus?
• Eternal life?

2. If you were to ask Jesus what you “still lack”, what do you think his response would be?

Application:

This story ends on a positive note. Peter, internalizing the exchange, asks for clarification on what’s in it for those who give up everything and put God first. Jesus, with maybe a twinkle in His eye and a grin on His face, lays it out. He’ll be on the throne, and we get to be with Him. Plus, we’ll receive a hundred times as much we give up in return. And if that wasn’t enough, we’ll inherit eternal life. Pretty good deal... I’d say a win.

So, call your shot today. Choose God over money. When we do, we make a conscious choice to apply finances God’s way – to spend less than we make, get out of debt, save for the future, and generously serve others on our financial discipleship journey.
