But when the man heard this he became sad, for he was very rich. - Luke 18:23
He made the mistake of asking Jesus the question. "What should I do to get into heaven?" Jesus told him the basics, but then dropped the whopper - "Sell everything you have and give it to the poor!"
This guy was rich. Jesus hit him right where it hurt. He went right after the one thing that was in front of God - money!
What is that thing for you? I would tell you mine, but you'd just laugh. But, what is that thing for you? What is the one thing Jesus could ask you to do that would cause you to be sad?
I'm not saying to give that thing up. I'm just wondering out loud if it needs to become less important in our lives.
