Life Versus Treasure
May 6th, 2012. Filed under: Sunday Scriptures.
As he was setting out on a journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, “Good
Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud: Honor your father and mother.'”
He said to him, “Teacher, I have kept all these since my youth.”
Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, “You lack one thing; go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor, and come, follow me.”
When he heard this, he was shocked and went away grieving, for he had many possessions.
Mark 10:17-22
