‘What Lack | Yet?

Scripture: “The young man saith unto Him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?” Matt, 19:20.

THE. MAN who questioned Jesus was interested in a most vital subject, “What good deed must I do to have eternal life?”

Life itself is God's supreme gift, but life eternal in quality and time takes precedence over every other interest of man.

He really was not as interested in the question he put to Jesus as he had thought. It would have demanded a complete reorientation of his life, which the acceptance of Jesus always involves, but he couldn’t face such a fact,

with human need the forms of religion are sterile. I think we can correctly add that he ‘also lacked peace. To have a vision and ignore fit means tension and unhappiness. To know the will of God and ignore it means deterioration of the soul.
