A wealthy young professional ran to Jesus (10:17-39) and apparently sincerely asked Him how he could attain eternal life (life from above). Jesus pointed out the Commandments that protected human relationships. The man quickly affirmed his obedience to all of them. What Jesus had not pointed out were the Commandments that dealt with relationship with God – serving God alone, refusal of any type of idolatry, honoring God’s name and day. Instead, He instructed him to sell all and give it to the  poor. If he would, he would have treasure in heaven. The young man failed and sadly left, because his wealth was his god.

God knows what your gods and mine are and is still intolerant of their presence.
