“You Don’t Have Enough Until…”
Friday, August 16, 2024Key Verse
“And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.” Luke 16:23
Text — Luke 16:19-23
Message
Some children are satisfied with just having plenty of toys, beautiful dresses, shoes, intelligence and so on without having Jesus. They forgot that as good as these things are, they are only useful here on earth and do not have eternal value.
No matter what you have, you don’t have enough until you have Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and Lord. The rich man in our Bible passage had many things: riches, beautiful clothes, plenty food and servants, he however did not have the most important thing – Jesus. He had no time for God and righteousness. With all that he had, one would have thought he had it all and had enough. Unfortunately, he did not have enough because he did not have Jesus, he ended up in hell.
To have Jesus, you must genuinely turn away from all sins, believe in, and receive Him into your heart as your personal Saviour and Lord. Here comes the perfect opportunity for you to have Jesus if you haven’t. He is waiting to forgive you. If you have already repented, yield yourself completely to God and ask Him to give you more.
