Mark Chapter 21 tells the story of Jesus’s meeting with the rich, young ruler. The young man told Jesus that he had followed the Scripture teachings all on his life, and questioned, what else must I do?
Jesus told him to deal with his addiction of the Love of Money. Jesus even told him how to deal with addiction by sell everything that he had and give it away, THEN “..follow Me.”.
The Scripture says that the rich, young ruler went away sorrowful. He made his choice.
We do need to ask Jesus to pinpointed our addictions, and like the rich, young ruler’s problem.
Jesus will be happy to tell us what the problem is, whether it is just laziness, whether we have a deep-seated hurt that we have refused to forgive. He will tell us so we can get rid of it and follow Jesus.
