28th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Oct 13, 2024    Fr. Alec Sasse

What are you unwilling to let go of in order to follow Jesus?


In today's Gospel, Jesus offers the rich young man great treasure in Heaven. He offers a beautiful trade for something far greater than the man could ever imagine. Jesus admits that saying yes to Him will cost something, but the treasure in Heaven is far greater than anything you could ever imagine; even greater than what you think you deserve.


Is there something holding back your heart from letting go of everything and just following him? From letting him look at you and love you all the way to the depths of your heart and invite you to let go and follow Him? What is He asking for? What is He offering?
