Encounters with Jesus – Part 5: The Rich Man

Have you ever asked a question, and then later regretted that you did? Maybe you got an answer that you did not quite expect, or like. You are interested in a job opportunity that sounds almost too good to be true. The pay is great. It’s a promotion. But then they tell you it’s in a remote part of the country or requires a lot of travel that would take you away from your family. You start to debate the pros and cons of such a move. There was a very wealthy man who asked Jesus an important question about his future. He got an answer he did not quite expect. What was it about this encounter with Jesus that was so difficult for this man to handle? We’ll ask the same question that he did, and make some decisions for ourselves.
