Mark 1O:17-31, for Sunday, May
Is:
Jesus had left Galilee and was
on a preaching tour through Perea,
where the incident of this lesson
took place.
running and kneeled to him and
asked him: Good Master, what shall
l do that / might inherit eternal
life?" Matthew says this young
man was young and wealthy, and
Luke declares he was ruler in Is
rael. He had the advantages of
youth, power, and wealth; but these
did not satisfy the deepest need of
his life. He made the mistake of
placing too much emphasis on
works What shall I do, instead of
what ought l to be.
V. 18. "And Jesus said unto him,
Why callest thou me good? There
is none good but one, that is, God. .
1t was imperative that this young
man have faith in him as the Saw
iour, therefore by intimation "there
is none good but Cod" Jesus ought
to have been recognized as Lord
and Saviour.

mandments, Do not commit adul-
terry. Do not kill. Do not steal
Do not bear false witness. Defraud
not. Honor thy father and moth

obedience to be member of Gods
kingdom and the law is not to be
overlooked.
v. 90. "And he answered and
said unto him, Master, all these

Here is an example of a moral man
according to the law. To be moral
is better than to be immoral, but
simply being moral is not enough
to have eternal life under the new

One thing thou lackest: Go thy way
sell whatsoever thou hast, and give

UP thy cross and follow me-" No
bility, sincerity, earnestness and
youth called forth special love Of
the Master. Ceremonial righteous
ness was seen in the youth but he
lacked Christian righteousness. The
with works and the law. Christian
righteousness has to do with right
motives and desires and affections
in accord with Christ Evidently
the wrong motive in this one was
that of loving money more than
anything else, or any person, and In
his case the best thing was to sell
all he had and give it to the needy,
and then to follow Jesus and take
up Christian service even to the ex-
tent of handicaps and burdens
which would be to him cross.
v. %. "And Jesus looked about,
and saith unto his disciples, How
hardly shall they that have riches
enter into the kingdom Of God!'
There is a temptation to a rich man
to forget God as he thinks he can
depend on his money and what
money can do. Nevertheless it is
possible for rich man to be child
of God This fact was so stated IN
the next verse.
v. 25. at is easier for camel
to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into
