The Rich Young Man

A Bible story for kids from Mark 10:17–27. Day 221 of 365.

A rich young man ran up to Jesus. “What do I need to do to live forever with God?”

Jesus loved him. He said, “Sell your stuff, give the money to poor people, and follow me.”

The man walked away sad, because he loved his money too much. Jesus said it's hard for people who love their stuff to follow God. But with God, everything is possible!
