Read Mark 10:17-27 - The Rich Man. Imagine you are the rich man. Consider your spiritual freedom or lack thereof. Notice what Jesus says to you (the rich man). Ask yourself: What attracts me to follow Jesus and what holds me back?
Alternatively, choose your favourite Gospel story. Imagine you are a character in the story and Jesus is talking to you. What is God trying to tell you through this scripture passage?
