Sometimes we approach Jesus not really looking for an answer, but instead just want to be commended with how we're living our life. This encounter with Jesus goes along those lines - an encounter with Jesus is a radical life experience, leaving ones priorities completely flipped upside down, that is unless it doesn't. Unwilling to put Jesus above the things that the rich young man has deemed so important he leaves this encounter with Christ sad, when instead he could have left fulfilled and changed forever. Is your approach to Jesus the same?
