DO OR DONE?
Luke 18:18-30
Do?
A ruler questioned Him, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do
to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you
call Me good? No one is good except God alone. You know the
commandments, 'Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not
steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother.'
" And he said, "All these things I have kept from my youth."
When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still
lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor,
and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." But
when he had heard these things, he became very sad, for he was
extremely rich. And Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it
is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God! For it
is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for
a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." They who heard it said,
"Then who can be saved?" But He said, "The things that are
impossible with people are possible with God."
Done.
Peter said, "Behold, we have left our own homes and followed
You." And He said to them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one
who has left house or wife or brothers or parents or children,
for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will not receive many
times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal
life." |
