You Can Never Make a Better Choice

 

He had a lot going for him – at least by the worlds’ standards.

He was rich, he was young and he was a ruler.

But still there was emptiness, there was something missing.

He came to Jesus and they had this conversation…

“Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

“Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.

You know the commandments…’

“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.”

Jesus looked at him and loved him.

“One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.

Then come, follow me.”

At this the man’s face fell.

He went away sad, because he had great wealth.”

Jesus offered him the opportunity he had asked for.

There was a transition coming to his life if he would choose it.

But we are told he went away sad, because he had great wealth.

It was a season of transition for him.

It was an opportunity that was presented but not taken.

You and I can miss those opportunities of transition that God offers.

He missed his.

You see Jesus does not come into our lives to leave us as we are.

He comes to transform us.

He comes to do His work in us.

We can receive or reject that transition, that transformation.

It may not be easy but consider the alternative.

God is transitioning His church.

We are to impact the globe.

Don’t go away sad when Jesus presents the opportunity.

Receive ALL that God has for you.

You can never make a better choice.
