Summary
Jesus encounters a wealthy young man seeking eternal life and commands him to sell all possessions and follow him. The sermon argues that Jesus makes such radical demands out of love, to free us from what controls our hearts so we can fully surrender to him as Lord.
Highlights
Jesus was not asking this man to make a sacrifice to him. He was actually inviting this man into the adventure of his life.
Jesus will not share his throne with anything else. His demands encompass our whole lives and our whole souls because he is simply too big to take hold of unless you have nothing else in your hands.
There is a big difference between knowing things about Jesus and surrendering your life to him.
