But there is only one thing…

The only one thing you cannot lack…

The one thing to be concerned about…
The one thing to focus all your energies on…
The only one thing you cannot
lack…
Luke 18
18
Once a religious leader asked Jesus this
question: "Good teacher, what should I do to get
eternal life?"
19
"Why do you call me good?" Jesus asked him.
"Only God is truly good. 20But as for your
question, you know the commandments: `Do not
commit adultery. Do not murder. Do not steal.
Do not testify falsely. 21The man replied, "I've
obeyed all these commandments since I was a
child."
22
"There is still one thing you lack," Jesus said.
"Sell all you have and give the money to the
poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.
Then come, follow me." 23But when the man
heard this, he became sad because he was very
rich.
The only one thing worth being
concerned about…
Luke 10
38
As Jesus and the disciples continued on their
way to Jerusalem, they came to a village where
a woman named Martha welcomed them into
her home. 39Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord's
feet, listening to what he taught. 40But Martha
was worrying over the big dinner she was
preparing. She came to Jesus and said, "Lord,
doesn't it seem unfair to you that my sister just
sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to
come and help me."
41
But the Lord said to her, "My dear Martha, you
are so upset over all these details! 42There is
really only one thing worth being concerned
about. Mary has discovered it--and I won't take
it away from her."
The only one thing to focus all
your energies on…
Philippians 3
13
No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I
should be, but I am focusing all my energies on
this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking
forward to what lies ahead, 14I strain to reach the
end of the race and receive the prize for which
God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to
heaven.
