Luke 18: 22, “When Jesus heard this, he said to him, ‘You
still lack one thing…’”
Jesus was always helping
those who would follow Him to understand who He is, who they are and who they
need to be. It is so easy to be thankful and comfortable with who we are. This
is especially true when we have achieved another level of growth or
accomplishment.
Jesus challenged this young
man who said he had kept all the commandments to do one thing more. He will
always help us to see the next step. He will always expect us to take the next
step. And He will help us to take it.
He has given us gifts to use
for the expressed purpose of serving others His love. These gifts will need
development in our understanding and use of them. We may need to ask Him what
the next growth step is. As we take it; we develop the areas of serving He
gives us.
The young man went away sad after Jesus told him his next step because
he was not willing to take it. According to Jesus, that would have been his
step to victory. Let’s get stepping.
