2 Digest

Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.

1. What does this passage show me about God?

   • How does Jesus treat the man before he tells him what he lacks?
   • Why does Jesus say it is hard for the rich to enter God's kingdom, and what does he say is possible with God?

2. What does it show me about people — and about myself?

   • Is there something you are holding on to that keeps you from following Jesus with your whole life?

3. What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)

   • What is one step you will take this week to loosen your grip on that thing and follow Jesus?

4. Who will I tell?

   • Who is trying to be good enough for God? How could you share what Jesus says is possible with God?

3 Grow

Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
