Mark 10:17-22
Dear brethren,
Good Morning!!
Did you know that God has the same expectation of every Christian? Our heavenly Father excepts every saint to "drop everything" and follow Him.
We may be tempted at times to count all the good things that we do and pat ourselves on the back. However, there are times when we need to honestly ask ourselves, "What do I still lack?" We need to examine our lives and see if we can do better in our service to our Father. We all may find that we can do better.
The passage for today shows us an example of one who believed he had done all required of him. He was mistaken. Here is Mark 10:17-22 presented for your consideration.
Mark 10:17-22
17 Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
18 So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
19 You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery,' 'Do not murder,' 'Do not steal,' 'Do not bear false witness,' 'Do not defraud,' 'Honor your father and your mother.' "
20 And he answered and said to Him, "Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth."
21 Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me."
22 But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
In Love,
