This past week was Ash Wednesday, and the start of Lent.
Lent – the season of giving up, of sacrifice.
As the days approached, nothing was on my heart to give up. And so, I decided to give up on giving up.
Over the forty days of Lent, I want to solely focus on Jesus and His sacrifice.
I was reminded of an encounter Jesus had one day while traveling.
A young man approached Jesus and asked, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Jesus responds, pretty much, by telling him he must not break the ten commandments.
The young man responds, “I’ve obeyed all these commandments since I was young.” And here is where it gets even more interesting …
“Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But at these words he was saddened, and he went away grieving, for he was one who owned much property.” (Mark 10: 21-22, NASB)
This story is truly not solely about the riches. Won’t you join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE and let’s look at this rich young ruler and see what is truly behind this conversation.
