In this sermon, we explore the encounter between Jesus and the rich, young ruler. Through this conversation, Jesus teaches that no amount of good deeds or moral living to secure eternal life, and exposes the impossibility of achieving perfection through human efforts. 

Reflect on these practical applications:
-Beware of trusting in riches – salvation is not dependent on personal resources.
-Riches alone cannot fulfill your deepest longings; true contentment comes from a relationship with Jesus.
-Embrace the offer of salvation through Jesus Christ – the one thing money can't buy.
