The Rich Young Ruler

Matthew 19:16-30

The rich young ruler wanted the ‘blessings of God’ (v16) but he doesn’t want Christ (v21).

Christ should be supreme & the only reason for our worship & devotion to God (vv28-29).

This seems to be impossible with our depraved heart but as Jesus declared, “With God all things are possible”(v26).

Only the Father can lead us to His Son Jesus not only for salvation but also for a growing relationship and communion with Him (John 6:44) through His acts of regeneration & sanctification…He is faithful to complete it in you (Philippians 1:6).
