There is something particularly satisfying about ticking something off a list. I have even been known to add things to my list, after I’ve already completed them, just so I can tick them off.
It goes a step further when I’m grocery shopping, because not only do I tick off each item, I get to cross off the whole list once I get everything on it!
Have you ever had the experience, after spending days adding things to a shopping list, of forgetting something? You get home, satisfied and content that you have everything you need. You crossed off everything on the list and crossed off the list itself. Then you discover that you’ve run out of something obvious like milk or bread!
Sometimes life can be the same. We think we have everything, that we have it all together, only to discover that we are missing something obvious and essential. Our very health and well-being is dependent on this one thing.
One time Jesus was bailed up by a young guy who had it all, or at least he thought he had. In the course of a short conversation, Jesus shows him that he is actually missing the key ingredient. Unfortunately the young man wasn’t willing to do what it takes to get what he needed, but the conversation reveals what we need for our lives and what is required to get it.
Join us this Sunday at 10 am as we continue our 'One Thing' series and turn to consider Jesus words, “One Thing You Lack”.
