Jesus called people to follow Him. Why? Because He loves people and does not want them to perish. He is the only one who can give new life, satisfaction, and everlasting joy. In this encounter, the young rich man asks what he must do to inherit eternal life. Jesus’ answer reveals the man’s idolatry of riches- he went away sad, because he was unwilling to part with his possessions in order to follow Christ. Are you willing to offer your life to Jesus? He calls each of us to die daily, by taking up our cross and following Him.

Why do people refuse to yield to God?
First, we don’t want a God who makes distinctions and judgments.
Second, because we like to keep our options open, even when God commands us to obey Him.
The satisfaction and joy yielding to God is much better than the alternative of not yielding to Him and facing the consequences of which Jesus speaks.
