Question – Jesus, 95

 ~ Regarding Priority, 1of2 ~

Introduction  ~  This series is about questions involving Jesus.  Some were asked by individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth.  Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked others.  We will look at questions on about 130 topics (some may split into two or more posts).  Even so, it is far from an exhaustive list. 

Scripture  ~  “Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: ‘The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.  And he thought within himself, saying, “What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?”  So he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.  And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry’.”  But God said to him, “Fool!  This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?”  So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God’” (Luke 12:16-21).

Comment  ~  There’s an old saying, “There are no U-Hauls in heaven.”  Do you have your priorities straight?  Martyred missionary Jim Elliot is often quoted.  The most frequent quote from Jim Elliot is “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.”

Resource  ~  Two books which are full of Jim’s actual writings are “The Journals of Jim Elliot” and “JIM ELLIOT: Recorded Messages” (https://books2read.com/JimElliot).
