An Invitation to Worship This Week
October 6, 2024
10:30 a.m.
When a wealthy man asked Jesus what he needed to do to inherit eternal life, Jesus offered a profound unsatisfactory answer. Jesus pointed the man to the importance of keeping God’s commandments. Committing murder, adultery, theft, and bearing false witness are not ways to the kingdom of God. Dishonoring our parents is also a bad idea.
Conversely, giving money to the poor is a good thing. Jesus gets the rich man’s attention by telling him to sell all that he has and to give the money to the poor in order to have treasure in heaven. The wealthy man went away grieving, and we are not told what he did.
Do we own our money and possessions or do our money and possessions own us? Jesus says that it can be very difficult for wealthy people to enter the kingdom of heaven. When it comes to the God’s realm, the one with the most toys does not necessarily win.
Humble, compassionate agapeic love is the way to eternal life. Jesus says that many who are first will be last, and the last will be first.
