b'The rich young man approaches Jesus with one question on his mind: \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153What must I do for eternal life?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d\\nWhen Jesus tells him to obey the law given to Moses for all of Israel, theman is confident he has kept all the law. Yet he knows he\\u2019s still missing something: \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153What do I still lack?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d he asks (Matthew 19:20).\\nWe all ask ourselves this question in different forms. \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153What am I missing?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Why doesn\\u2019t anyone like me?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Why am I not good enough?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153How am I such a failure?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Why can\\u2019t I do anything right?\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d\\nHowever, Jesus responds to all these questions with a simple response: \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153What you value more than Me is stopping you from resting in Me.\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d It is only in Jesus that you are called a son or daughter of the Most High God, only in Jesus that you are fully known and fully loved. It is only in resting in Jesus\\u2014and what He did\\u2014that we find true peace and rescue from sin and death (Ephesians 2:8-10). In Him, we receive eternal life and true fulfillment.\\nWhat do we still lack? In Christ, we lack nothing. Jesus loved us, delivered Himself up for us on the cross, and rose from the grave\\u2014providing us a path to eternal life. Therefore, we have everything in Jesus, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). \\u2022 Samuel Dennis\\n\\u2022 What do you feel you are lacking in your life? \\n\\u2022 Where do you go for ultimate fulfillment? \\n\\u2022 How does Jesus fulfill your wants and needs? \\n\\u2022 What would it look like for you to run to Jesus instead of other things? \\nAnd everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my [Jesus\\u2019] sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.
