A young man stands at a crossroads, with one path passing a cross and leading to a serene paradise, and the other path leading to a city with money scattered along the way. Would you sell everything for Heaven?
Have you ever considered what you'd do if Jesus asked you to give up everything you own? In Matthew 19:16-30, a young man is faced with this very challenge. Jesus tells him to sell all his possessions and give to the poor if he wants to inherit eternal life. This story pushes us to ask ourselves: would we be willing to make that sacrifice? Would we trade our material comforts for the promise of Heaven? As we navigate the crossroads of life, we are constantly choosing between fleeting worldly gains and the eternal peace offered through faith.
