Let Go and Follow

What is keeping you from truly following Jesus? What is it that stands in the way of truly following, truly becoming a disciple of Jesus?

For a man who was on his knees in front of Jesus it was his wealth, his possessions. Jesus sees that roadblock, recognizes the thing that is standing in this man's way, and provides a solution. The solution is a bitter pill for the man to swallow. It's a difficult prescription. It's so difficult that it causes grief, it causes sorrow.

This Sunday, we'll spend some time with Jesus and this man, wondering about the things that stand in our way, things that stand in the way of us truly experiencing the kingdom of heaven in our own lives.
