Walking away from God

Jesus always asked a question before responding. When God’s answer is not what we expect, we tend to walk away sad (Mark 10:22). Like the rich man, we get stuck on the question (v.20-21). When Jesus asked ‘why do you call me good?’ It was for a reason. Just like the rich man many miss the true answer. We all lack one thing: we fail to keep the first and greatest of the commandments—love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength (Matthew 22:37-38). We put our treasures and great deeds first. Like the rich man, Making it hard to give up and truly follow Christ.  What can you give up today?
