Summary: Don’t grumble because you don’t have what you want, be thankful you don’t get what you deserve. The rich young ruler missed the true meaning of Life that only Jesus can give, let’s examine it together!
Introduction
One of the latest games shows to rock the TV industry and give America another fashionable look at human intelligence is the show called, "The Weakest Link."
The first season begins with a sassy British host who doesn’t mind reminding her guest who gets elected off the show that they are amoungst the others "The Weakest Link" and are terminated.
We all have our flaws, weaknesses and links in the chain of our life that may break any moment now. The story of the Rich Young Ruler is no different.
We are introduced to this young man in a most unusal way, let’s examine it together.
