Jesus Meets HENRY

The challenge and tension of "doing" and "being" has existed since the beginning. It is natural for us to think in terms of "what must I do?" Ken Kessler addresses this question by exploring the account of the rich young ruler (who he dubs HENRY) who approaches Jesus to ask how he can obtain eternal life. The young ruler has followed the commandments since his youth but Jesus know his treasure is somewhere else - his material possessions. We are reminded that we should not let our possessions become more important than our relationship with God which should be our greatest treasure.
