"A Life Wasted"

A wealthy young ruler came running to Jesus, knelt before Him, and asked how to inherit eternal life. He had kept the commandments outwardly, but Jesus loved him enough to expose the idol hiding beneath his obedience: his wealth. When Jesus told him to sell everything and follow Him, the man walked away sorrowful. Salvation is impossible on our own, but with God all things are possible. The real question is not whether we kneel in church on Sunday, but what we are truly living for the rest of the week. Do not spend the time God gives you chasing things that will not last.
