You know the commandments: Do not murder; do not commit adultery; do not steal; do not bear false witness; do not defraud; honor your father and mother.” He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these from my youth.” Looking at him, Jesus loved him and said to him, “You lack one thing: Go, sell all you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” But he was dismayed by this demand, and he went away grieving, because he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were astonished at his words. Again Jesus said to them, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” They were even more astonished, saying to one another, “Then who can be saved?” Looking at them, Jesus said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God, because all things are possible with God.” Truth 1 Good is Not Good Enough (v.18) Mark 10:18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good except God alone. Exodus 20:3 “Have no other gods before Me” Truth 2 The law is not the solution; it only reveals the problem (v.19-22) Mark 10:19 “You know the commandments…” Truth 3 You cannot serve two masters; you must choose one (v.21-22,25) Mark 10:25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” Mark 8:36 For what does it benefit someone to gain the whole world and yet lose his life? 2 Corinthians 5:20 “We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” Want to receive weekly announcements in your inbox each week? https://istrouma.org/email Give Online Text ISTROUMA IBC to 73256 or go to: https://istrouma.org/give Our Website https://istrouma.org
