"The Good Life"

What is the good life? Ask everyone here this morning – what does the good life look like to you? Maybe it’s being up north, being on vacation, being far, far away from the stresses and difficulties of every day life…being away from work…being from from any type of pain and suffering we face. The good life is much better than every difficult thing we face in life.

What is the good life? That’s really the question and the desire of the man in our lesson today who came to Jesus and and who wanted a solution to his problem. He wanted the Good Life. And he thought the good life came if he had more stuff, more things, and by trying to fill the empty void in his life with earthly possessions. We hear from Jesus that our life is not good and not full by how much stuff we can fill it with. Our life is full and good when we fill it with Jesus.
