Christ and the Rich Young Ruler
Video
Quote/Principle
The Lord will give us specific counsel and direction. Will we be willing to follow it.
Let's consider the New Testament account of the rich young ruler. He was a righteous young man who was already keeping the Ten Commandments, but he wanted to become better. His goal was eternal life. When he met the Savior, he asked, "What lack I yet?" Jesus answered immediately, giving counsel that was intended specifically for the rich young man. "Jesus said unto him, if thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast,, and give to the poor, and come and follow me." The young man was stunned; he had never considered such a sacrifice. He was humble enough to ask the Lord but not faithful enough to follow the divine counsel he was given. We must be willing to act when we receive an answer.
