The Rich Man Who Walked Away Sad

A rich man asked Jesus what he had to do to gain eternal life.  Jesus told him to keep the commandments. And the rich man said that he had done that since his birth.  So Jesus said: “There is one thing more you need to do…sell all you have and give it to the poor. Then come and follow me.“ And the rich man went away sad because he had many possessions.

                                            Questions to think about:

       1. As the rich man got older do you think he regretted walking away from Jesus?
  
       2. If Jesus asked you to the same thing as that rich man, what would you do?

 3. If  you asked Jesus what you personally need to do to attain eternal life, what do you think Jesus would specifically ask of you? 

 4. What do you think happened to the rich man when he died?  

       5. What cost would you be willing to pay this week for an ‘Eternal Life Insurance Policy’?

In the next day or two, make it a point to tell someone the story of the rich man and what that story means to you.
