meeting ~ JeeuA and Young man

ing 10 Christ He was so earnest with
! reference Ia seeking his salvation
You can't do anything with man
not in earnest about this matter. The
fact that this young man was In
earnest showed he was sensible. that
+ he had q regard for the best things.
for the truest things. and a regard
for the life beyond this Pickering
/ life OF few years. Now Jesus begins
To talk to the young man to draw him
out. Why caIlest thou me good
There Is none good but one. that Is
God. Do you come 10 me as the repre-
sentative OF God? Then from this
thought Jesus said thou knowest the
commandments The young man
said these have / observed from my
youth, and then Jesus beholding
. him loved him, and said unto him,
one thing thou lackest, and that was
the one essential thing
1T is all right to try to live good
life and to try 10 keep the command
ments but there never was young
man who entered heaven in this way
nor never will be. With this young
man IL was a question Of choice be-
tween his riches and Christ Christ
laid his finger upon the sore part in
the young mans life. when he told
him to sell all he had. This is the
choice that comes to every one. How
is the young man going to receive
this advice? He hesitates, he thinks
of his riches and what they mean to
him and we see him, as with sad and
sorrowful face. he turns away from
/ Jesus to his riches. Jesus must have
stood with sorrowful face as he saw
this young man turn away and He
said Children how hard is it fol
them that trust in riches to enter in
to the kingdom Of Cod Jesus haC
told the Young man to do the very
thing he was not willing to do. There
, is not a man or woman surely VINO
! does not want to be saved, but they
want to be saved in their own way,
not in Gods way. If you can hold
on to YOUR sins you would like to be
saved. but you have got to make
| sell all YOU have, but you must be
! willing to do it. Suppose CHRIST
should come into your heart and say
/ I want YOU to sell all YOU have and
follow me. would you do it? Ihe
/ trouble is YOU love something else
more than Christ. You have got to
be willing to make the surrender OF
vour all into Christs handS.
The sane truth is taught in another
place. where Christ says if man
will lose his life for my sake, the
same shall save it,
"Never was there truer saying
The trouble with you is you are not
willing TO pay the price of saliva
ton.
salvation is free and we get back
more than We give up, but 1t COSTS
something. one thing thou lackest
that is the all important thing In
those darl, and awful days when the
great rebellion swept over our lana
causing SO many broken hearts aud
sad homes and that dark day came
