Mark - Matthew 19

The question is asked in this chapter what must be done to have eternal life. The rich man leaves despondent upon receiving the answer. (v21)"... sell everything you have..." is the reply Jesus gives which I believe is Him telling us to turn to God in all matters. My life has to have clear direction and focus. By Jesus' sacrifice I am given the gift of eternal life freely, there are no prerequisites but my will needs to be turned over to God. In so doing the choice is mine to try and live as Christ has taught as opposed to my own selfish ways. Easier to say than practice at times, the key is to always strive for this!
