GOT ENOUGH STUFF?

What a contrast!...one young man who loves stuff more than his fellow-man meets another young man who loves His fellow-man more than stuff – yes, Jesus!... on His way to losing even His own clothes, then crucifixion, before receiving the ‘throne of glory’. (Matt 19:16- ) 
He replies...
“Why callest thou me good? There is none good but One, that is, God”

Is this good Man called Jesus really the good God?  
He first tests this guy with the Commandments, especially 5 that are about interaction with others....                                                                      
Okay, that ticked all the boxes but what about Commandment #10?                                              

‘Thou shalt not covet’                                              

Sorry pal, you don’t win eternal life thru your own efforts – you have to accept being a loser first!  

It’s easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle... “


What would YOU give up for Jesus, for His Name’s sake?  
After all...                                              
He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to earn what he cannot lose. 

Me fit thru a needle?? Raspberries to that!
