Der reiche Jüngling
Markus 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.“
