ADVICE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE
I read this advice somewhere and thought it was similar to what Jesus told the rich young man in Luke 18.
Advice for Young People:
1. Sell all you have.
2. Give to the poor.
3. Follow me.
4. Receive 100 fold now.
5. With persecutions.
6. Eternal life in age to come.
7. Be first, you’ll be last.
8. Be last, you’ll be first.
9. Drink the cup I drink.
10. Be baptized with my baptism.
