So Close

May 18, 2025    Carl Trost

This week we see an encounter between Jesus and a man who wants to know from Him how to inherit eternal life. The guy seems to have it all together. He seems devout. He seems eager. He asks good questions. He is respectful towards Jesus. He knows the law. But he also seems to know that something is missing. So, he asks Jesus what else he must do. Is this guy as with it as he seems? What does Jesus tell him he lacks? How does he respond to Jesus' response? This interaction goes deeper than you think. It tells us a lot about ourselves and those who are lost all around us. And it is a practical application of something Yeshua just taught His disciples. Come and see.
