"You are well acquainted
Jesus became poor.
with the favor shown you by our Lord Jesus Christ:
how for your sake he made himself poor
though he was rich,
so that you might become rich by his poverty."
2 Corinthians 8:9
He lived in poverty.
He was not wealthy.
He chose that way of life.
It gives us much to think about.
Why would he do that?
He wanted to teach us something.
He wanted us to know that money is not that important.
Yesterday
Apple Computer
dropped over 50 per-cent in value.
Is your life based on wealth?
You need security.
Where do you find it?
It is not in the Stock Market.
One day the money will all be gone.
It will be worthless.
What will last?
What will endure?
That is what Jesus was trying to teach us.
Seek eternal things.
Seek security in God.
Seek everlasting life.

"Jesus summoned them (James and John) on the spot.
Jesus summons you.
They abandoned their father Zebedee,
who was in the boat with the hired men,
and went off in his company."
Mark 1:20
He calls you to come away.
He wants to get your full attention.
He wants you to follow him.
It seems impossible to drop everything.
It is a question of priorities.
What is important to you?
Is prayer a priority?
Is Sunday a day of worship for you?
Do you ever read the Bible?
You give yourself away by how you live.
Put Jesus first.
The unimportant things will fall to the side.
Abandon watching TV for example.
