What makes someone ready for the Kingdom of God? In Matthew 19, Jesus places two very different people side by side: little children with nothing to offer and a rich young ruler who seemingly has everything. Through these two encounters, we discover that God's Kingdom is not received through achievement, morality or self-reliance but through humble faith and complete surrender.
In this message, Pastor One Mokgatle unpacks the contrast between these two stories, revealing that eternal life isn't earned by what we do but received through what Christ has already done.
The question isn't how much you've accomplished it's what you're trusting in. Will you come to Jesus with open hands like a child, or continue holding onto the things you believe will save you?
