Mark 10, 17-31
IN JUDEA LIVES A RICH YOUNG MAN.
HE COMES TO JESUS AND FALLS ON HIS KNEES.
HE ASKS JESUS: „GOOD TEACHER, HOW CAN I GET THE LIFE THAT NEVER ENDS?“
JESUS ANSWERS: „WHY DO YOU CALL ME GOOD? NO PERSON IS GOOD. ONLY GOD IS GOOD.“
„YOU KNOW THE COMMANDS: DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT WANT ANOTHER WOMAN, RESPECT YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER“
THE MAN SAYS: „TEACHER, I ALWAYS DID THIS!"
JESUS LOOKS AT THE MAN. JESUS FEELS LOVE FOR HIM.
JESUS SAYS: „YOU ARE MISSING ONE THING. SELL WHAT YOU HAVE (HOUSES) AND GIVE THE MONEY TO THE POOR PEOPLE. “
„GIVE EVERYTHING AWAY AND COME, FOLLOW ME!“
THE MAN LEAVES. HE IS SAD BECAUSE HE WANTS TO KEEP HIS MONEY.
JESUS LOOKS AT HIS FRIENDS AND SAYS: „IT IS HARD FOR A RICH MAN TO ENTER HEAVEN.“
THE FOLLOWERS ARE SHOCKED. THEY ASK: „WHO CAN BE SAVED AND GO TO HEAVEN? AND HOW?“
JESUS ANSWERS: „PEOPLE CANNOT DO THIS BY THEMSELVES. IT MUST COME FROM GOD. GOD CAN DO ALL THINGS.“
