What to give? What to get?
Another day, a man stopped Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
What to give in order to get?
Jesus said, “Why do you question me about what’s good? God is the One who is good. If you want to enter the life of God, just do what he tells you.”
Give what God tells you to give and you will get what God has to give.
“If you want to give it all you’ve got,” Jesus replied, “go sell your possessions; give everything to the poor. All your wealth will then be in heaven. Then come follow me.”
Give it all! Give all!
God says, "give away all the world has given you and I will give you all that heaven has to give to you." Then come follow me and you will see what you get for what you have given, And not only you, but anyone who sacrifices home, family, fields—whatever—because of me will get it all back a hundred times over, not to mention the considerable bonus of eternal life.
What will you give in order to get what God wants to give you?
