3 Week Challenge, Day 19

Passage: Matthew 19 (Divorce, The Little Children and Jesus, The Rich Young Man)

Memory Verse: "And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons: 'My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, 6because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and punishes everyone he accepts as a son" -Hebrews 12:5-6 [an addition to and reminder of previously done verse Hebrews 12:7-8]

Notes: (v.1-3) The Pharisees came to Jesus and asked about divorce
-(v.4-6) Jesus said: a man will leave his parents and become one flesh with his wife. What God has joined together, let man not separate.
-(v.7) The Pharisees then asked Jesus of Moses and his command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce
-(v.8-9) Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wifes because your hearts were hard. But it was not that way from the beginning. 9I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness and marries another woman commits adultery"
-(v.10-12) Not everyone was born to marry; "the one who can accept this should accept it"
-(v.14) Jesus said, "let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these"
-(v.16-22) A rich, young man came to Jesus and asked him how to gain eternal life.
Jesus said to obey his commands. Having kept those commands, the man asked Jesus what he lacked. Jesus told him to sell all his possessions and give to the poor, and follow him. The man left because he was very wealthy.
-Am I able to "sell all my possessions" for Jesus? Or am I holding onto any worldy desires/possessions/fears?
-(v.23-29) Jesus said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."
-(v.29-30)Memory verse review: "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first"
