“Treasure in Heaven”

“Treasure in Heaven”

Blessings folk!

I dare say that most of us are very familiar with the story of the “rich, young ruler”.

Read.
Ask the Spirit to reveal…

Mat 19:16-22

And someone came to Him and said,
“Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?”

And He said to him, “Why are you asking Me about what is good?
There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

Then he said to Him, “Which ones?”
And Jesus said,
“YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT MURDER;
YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY;
YOU SHALL NOT STEAL;
YOU SHALL NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS;

HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER;
and YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”

The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept; what am I still lacking?”

Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving;
for he was one who owned much property.

The man came to Jesus.
He knew that Jesus was a teacher…a rabbi.
The man sought an answer to a question…
”what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?”

Note the mindset…
- good thing
- I shall do
- to obtain

He expected an answer oriented around the good work of man.

Many religionists are the same today.
They think their good works…their good activity…their good deeds…will provide entry into the Kingdom.

Such is not so.

What do you think?
