Something More
Why did the rich young man become sorrowful when Jesus suggested that he sell what he had and give it to the poor, and then follow Him?
He was an excellent religious person, since he obeyed most of the commandments of the Law of God.
But he was aware that something else lacked in his life.
This something else, was really SOMETHING SOOOO MUCH MORE...
That, unfortunately, was not meant for him.
His possessions already occupied the throne of his heart, so there was no room for anyone else.
Because of this, he lacked SOMETHING MORE.
It’s useless not to kill;
It’s useless not to commit adultery;
It’s useless not to steal;
It’s useless not to bear false witness;
It’s useless not to honor your father and mother;
It’s useless not to love your neighbor,
It’s useless to be good in Church and in the world if the Almighty does not occupy the highest place in your life.
It’s useless for a "Christian" to obey most Christian doctrines and DENY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST FROM OCCUPYING THE THRONE OF HIS HEART.
You shall love the Lord your God with all thy heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind... Luke 10.27
How can anyone want the Best of God – His Spirit – when they are not giving Him their best?
But, don’t forget: For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones”. Isaiah 57.15
