Bible Question: How would you teach on The Rich Young Ruler in Mark.I have several questions. was this man a christian man? |
Bible Answer: Mark 10:17 And as He was setting out on a jouney, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and began asking Him, Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? In verse 18 he recognizes Jesus as God. In verse 19 Jesus quotes 6 of the Ten Commandemtns. In 20 the man states to Jesus that he has kept them from his youth (yes he has been raised in some kind of Biblical setting). 21 And looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him, and said to him, "One thing you lack: go and sell all your possessions, and give them to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow Me. 1. One point I find interesting is the fact that we in the Christian Chruch are taught that we are no longer under the Law. Most Christians include the Ten Commandments as part of the Law, which would mean they wouldn't be applicable in the NT. But we clearly see Jesus quoting the last six of the TC and using them to anwser a very important question. The first four commanments teach us to love God the last six teach us how to love our neighbor. 2. The rich young ruler was obviously rich. He states he has kept these commandments but yet is not willing to take an extra step to sell his possessions and give to the poor (his neighbors). 3. This also shows a lack of trust in God, which all thing come from. 4. The man new the letter but not by the Spirit of God, which is love. Jesus knew his heart. I hope this helps! |
