> The Rich Young Ruler — When One Thing Is Too Much to Surrender
> Mark 10:17-23 NIV “As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’” “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this the man’s face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!””
He ran to Jesus. He knelt before Jesus. He asked Jesus about eternal life. And then he walked away.
That may be one of the most sobering encounters in the Gospels.
The rich young ruler did not mock Jesus.
He did not argue with Jesus.
He did not reject Jesus from a distance.
He ran to Him.
He knelt before Him.
He called Him “Good Teacher.”
And he asked one of the most important questions anyone could ever ask:
“What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”, Mark 10:17
Everything about the encounter looked promising.
This man seemed ready to become a disciple.
Until Jesus touched the one thing he was unwilling to surrender.
Jesus Put His Finger on the Rival
Jesus told him:
> ”Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor… and come, follow me.”, Mark 10:21 WEB
Jesus was not merely asking for a donation.
He was exposing a throne.
Something possessed this man more deeply than he possessed it.
His wealth had become the place where he found security, identity, comfort, and control.
Then came the moment of decision.
Jesus said:
Follow Me.
And the man had to decide which treasure he wanted more.
Mark tells us:
> “But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.”, Mark 10:22 WEB
He came running.
He left grieving.
He wanted eternal life.
He wanted Jesus.
But apparently, he wanted his possessions more.
Almost a Disciple
Think about how close he came.
He stood face-to-face with Jesus.
Jesus personally invited him to follow.
Mark even tells us something remarkable:
Jesus looked at him and loved him.
This was not rejection from Jesus.
It was an invitation from Jesus.
But love did not remove the cost of discipleship.
Jesus loved him enough to confront the very thing keeping him from wholehearted surrender.
And the man walked away.
What Is Your “One Thing”?
It is easy to read this story and think only about money.
But the deeper question is much more dangerous.
What would Jesus have to touch in your life before you began reconsidering whether you really wanted to follow Him?
Your money?
Your career?
Your comfort?
Your reputation?
A relationship?
Your plans for retirement?
Your possessions?
Your political identity?
Your right to control your own future?
Your unwillingness to forgive?
Your unwillingness to go where Jesus sends you?
We can sing, pray, attend church, read Scripture, give offerings, and speak passionately about Jesus,
until Jesus asks for the one thing we have quietly decided He cannot have.
And then we discover who is really Lord.
Following Jesus Means an Open Hand
The issue is not whether every Christian must sell everything.
The issue is whether Jesus could ask anything of us and still receive our yes.
A disciple does not hand Jesus a contract filled with exceptions.
“Jesus, I will follow You, but not there.”
“I will obey You, but not with my money.”
“I will serve You, but don't interfere with my comfort.”
“I will make disciples, but don't ask me to rearrange my life.”
“I surrender everything, except this.”
That is exactly where this story confronts us.
The rich young ruler did not reject religion.
He rejected surrender.
And Jesus allowed him to walk away.
The Question We Cannot Avoid
Throughout this series, we will meet people who came astonishingly close to following Jesus, but something stopped them.
For this man, it was possessions.
For someone else, it will be fear.
For another, reputation.
For another, delay.
For another, the approval of people.
But every story forces us to ask the same question:
What kept them from fully following Jesus, and could the same thing be keeping us?
Today, make it even more personal:
What would make you walk away if Jesus asked for it?
And perhaps the harder question:
Is there anything in your life you have already decided Jesus cannot have?
Because the thing you refuse to surrender may reveal the thing you are actually following.
Jesus is still saying:
“Come, follow me.”
The question is not whether we admire Him.
The question is whether we will surrender everything to follow Him.*THE PEOPLE WHO ALMOST FOLLOWED JESUS · PART 01* > The Rich Young Ruler — When One Thing Is Too Much to Surrender > Mark 10:17-23 NIV “As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone.

> Story: Jesus and the Samaritan Woman (John 4:1–42)-Read this passage and master it
Imagine meeting someone who is searching for hope...
They may not say it out loud.
They may appear successful.
Confident.
Religious.
Broken.
Curious.
But underneath nearly every conversation is the same question:
> "Is there something that truly satisfies?"
Jesus answered that question with one conversation.
He didn't begin with a sermon.
He didn't begin with a debate.
He began with a question.
> "Give me a drink."
What followed became one of the greatest evangelism stories ever recorded.
A Jewish rabbi spoke with a Samaritan woman.
A man crossed cultural barriers.
A holy Savior offered grace instead of condemnation.
> Jesus gently exposed her deepest thirst—not simply for water, but for a relationship with God.
Then He offered her something no one else could give.
Living water.
> This story teaches every disciple-maker how to begin spiritual conversations naturally.
Jesus listened.
He asked questions.
He connected everyday life to spiritual truth.
He revealed Himself.
Then something remarkable happened.
The woman had known Jesus for only a short time.
She wasn't trained.
She hadn't attended Bible school.
She didn't know every answer.
Yet she immediately left her water jar, ran back to her town, and invited others:
> "Come, see a man who told me everything that I did. Can this be the Christ?"
Because she shared what she had just discovered, many people came to meet Jesus for themselves.
That's how disciple-making movements often begin.
Ordinary people encounter Jesus.
They immediately tell the people they already know.
Those people discover Jesus for themselves.
The story spreads.
> Every disciple-maker should carry this story.
It introduces the gospel.
It demonstrates how Jesus starts spiritual conversations.
It encourages new believers that they don't have to know everything before they begin sharing.
Sometimes the first story someone needs to hear is simply the story of a thirsty woman who finally found living water.*The Power of Stories in disciple making-* > Story: Jesus and the Samaritan Woman (John 4:1–42)-Read this passage and master it Imagine meeting someone who is searching for hope...

Scripture Text:
Mark 8:38 ```“If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”```
Matthew 10:32–33 “```Whoever acknowledges Me before others, I will also acknowledge before My Father in heaven. But whoever disowns Me before others, I will disown before My Father in heaven.”```
Jesus makes it clear. There is no middle ground. We either stand for Him or we shrink back.
And honestly, our generation is not far from what He described. It is easy to feel like standing for Christ makes you look strange, outdated, or even extreme. In such a world, the greatest battle is often not open sin, but the quiet fear within.
The Fear of Man
Many believers do not deny Christ with their words, but with their silence. Not because they hate Him, but because they fear people (Proverbs 29:25).
This fear shows up when you are around influential people, when you are in spaces where Christ is not honored, or when speaking about your faith might cost you acceptance (John 12:42–43).
Little by little, boldness fades, conviction weakens, and faith becomes private when it was meant to be lived openly (Romans 1:16). That is why Scripture warns us so strongly.
Jesus did not call us to blend in. He called us to stand out (Matthew 5:14–16).
Even when immorality is normalized, truth is compromised, and righteousness is mocked, we are still called to stand firm (Ephesians 6:13).
Our faith is not meant to adjust to culture (Romans 12:2). We are meant to shine as lights in the darkness.
Sometimes fear becomes strongest when we stand before people who seem successful in this world, those with wealth, influence, and status (Psalm 49:16–17). In those moments, there is pressure to tone things down and fit in.
But material success is not eternal. It does not carry authority before God (Mark 8:36). Never allow what is temporary to silence what is eternal.
The same Christ you confess in private must be the Christ you stand for in public, no matter who is watching.
So what do we do?
We do not rely on our own strength, because fear is real. But God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). Instead, we pray and depend on Him.
“Lord, give us power and boldness (Acts 4:29).
Let us never be controlled by the fear of people.
Help us to stand firm in the midst of wickedness, unashamed and unwavering in our faith.
And when we stand before those who seem successful in material things, help us not to be intimidated or silent, but to boldly declare our trust in You.
Let our confidence be rooted in You alone.”
At the end of it all, one moment will matter, when we stand before God (2 Corinthians 5:10).
May it never be said that we were ashamed. May it be said that we stood for Christ.
So stand, believer.
Stand in your school.
Stand in your workplace.
Stand among friends.
Stand everywhere God has placed you.
Be unashamed of Christ. And share Him with the world.UNASHAMED OF CHRIST Scripture Text: Mark 8:38 ```“If anyone is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when He comes in His Father’s glory with the holy angels.”``` Matthew 10:32–33 “```Whoever acknowledges Me before others, I will also acknowledge before My Father in heaven.

- Currently leading a discipleship movement focused on reaching communities across Eastern Uganda. Through intentionally finding persons of peace, we are forming discipleship groups that meet weekly,what I call house churches.
By God’s grace, this movement has grown to nearly 200 active groups, with a leadership structure now extending up to nine generations deep. It has been encouraging to see not just growth in numbers, but multiplication through disciples making disciples.
The work has also begun to spread beyond borders into neighboring countries, including Kenya—particularly within the Kakuma camp in northern Kenya.
It’s a humbling journey, and we continue trusting God for deeper impact and transformation in every community we reach.Currently leading a discipleship movement focused on reaching communities across Eastern Uganda.
