The Rich Young Man
Jul 4, 2021 • Jay Scott • Matthew 19:16-26
In Matthew 19:16, a man asks Jesus, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?"
The most obvious problem with this question is the assumption that we can earn eternal life. When Jesus answers the young man, he goes away sad. For the rest of us, Jesus' answer clearly illustrates that God doesn't want religion -- He wants relationship.
