Even obeying the “law” is not enough to inherit eternal life. We put obstacles in our own way. For some of us it may be wealth or possessions, for others the quest for success or the desire for popularity. Or it may be entirely different. God knows, and deep down we do too. Today, Jesus is calling us to love him with our whole heart, not just a comfortable percentage. It may seem too much to give, but this faithful surrender is the path to happiness, both now and in the life to come.
Adults: Do my possessions ever stand in the way of having deeper relationship with God?
Children: Do I love my things better than I love God?
