Luke 18:18-30

The rich ruler

About the next group of questions

Jesus does ask his followers to do certain things. We must still obey God’s rules. Money should never be the most important thing in our life. It is not easy to follow Jesus.

Pray

Ask God to help you as you study.

Dear Lord Jesus, please help me to obey your commands, even when I do not want to do it. Amen.
