WORD:
“Jesus answered, ‘If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'” (Matthew 19:21, NIV)
THOUGHT:
In this verse, Jesus responds to a man who believed he had earned his salvation through his own ability – his own good work. Jesus reveals that the gospel is accessible to all. It cannot be bought or earned or won.
PRAYER:
Jesus, thank you for accommodating us in your free gift of salvation. May we demonstrate this same grace with one another. May we respond by simply and humbly following you.
