As Christmas fades into the new year, the joy and generosity often fade with it. In Matthew 19, the story of the rich young man shows why—when good things become idols, they create distance from God. Jesus wasn’t condemning money, but calling the young man to surrender what had become his identity and security. We all have idols, whether money, success, appearance, or ourselves. The good news is we don’t have to be perfect—Jesus already was. True treasure and lasting joy are found when we surrender our idols and give Him our whole hearts.
