Everything for the One Thing

Matthew 13:44-46 - I would venture to say that most of us spend more time with the Everything and less with the One Thing.  That if something has to be compromised, it’s the One Thing.  We never ask the boss for time off so that we can rest up to be ready for church or to have some time alone with Jesus.  Most of us don’t take vacations to go be alone with God.  We pack it with activities and excitement.  You are likely asking yourself if I’m a madman.  This is crazy talk!  And even if I was willing to do this, I’m too busy.  I’ve got obligations.  Bills to pay.  Children. Parents.  Ha, even church ministry!

This is where the Jesus Equation comes back in.  It’s where we start.  Go and Sell Your Possessions and Give to the Poor.  It's a 2 part command.
