In a famous passage, Jesus interacts with a rich and moral man who feels he is missing something. He shocks the man by asking him to sell all his possessions, and the man leaves sad. What do we learn from a passage like this? We all are looking for eternal life, and can't seem to get hold of it. We all have things that compete with Jesus for our love, and leave us sad. And by a miracle of God's grace, we can find eternal life in Jesus Christ, which leads to joy forever. 

1. How often do you think about eternal life? What emotions and thoughts in your daily life might be connected to a desire for eternal life?
2. What in your life might be competing with Jesus for your devotion and attention? How are those things leaving you sad?
3. How can the gospel begin to rewire your heart to be attached to Christ instead of those things?
