Have you ever given serious thought to the concept of “eternal life”? Life in a realm whose beauties defy description. A life in which Satan and his angels no longer tempt and torment us day and night. A life in which sorrow, pain, suffering and death no longer exist. A life in which old, tired, worn out bodies have been replaced with new, energetic, immortal bodies. Think about it all you want. Dream about it every night, but the truth is that neither you nor I can begin to conceive of all that God has prepared for His faithful in that eternal home. Our text, this morning, introduces us to a young man who came to Jesus in search of this life. He was a man, who, from the world’s perspective already had everything a man could want, everything that the world considers important. However, he knew there was something else, something even more important, that he wanted.
