A Gift For One Who Has Everything

Preaching Eyes for Listening Ears
Sermons and Commentary For Preachers and Students of Preaching
This sermon was prepared for a seminary congregation at a regular chapel service at Columbia Seminary.
It can be characterized as a public wrestling with the text as the preacher expresses his own sense of discomfort with the story. He resists identification with the man "who has everything" until he finally recognizes that he and the rich young ruler have more in common than he first thought.
By applying the passage most directly to his own experience, he hopes that the hearers will see themselves in the narrative.
