When Doing Everything Right Isn’t Enough
25
rich young ruler couldn’t bring himself to do it. Matthew did. One
made the right choice; the other didn’t. Matthew was converted
and entered a life of joyfilled service. The other continued a life of
human prestige, wealth—and emptiness. One found eternal life; the
other missed it. When we renounce self-interest, the Lord animates
us with new life. Only “new bottles” can contain the “new wine” of
a life renewed in Christ
[32]
