Jesus and the Rich Young Ruler

Mark 10:17-22

Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

     Now as He was going out on the road, one came running, knelt before Him, and asked Him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

   So Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. You know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not bear false witness,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’ ”

   And he answered and said to Him, “Teacher, all these things I have kept from my youth.”
   Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.”

   But he was sad at this word, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

1. He was so rich and yet so poor.
2. He was so good and yet so bad.
3. He was so wise and yet so foolish.
4. He was so near and yet so far.

Scriptures for Anger

Proverbs 19:11
The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,
 And his glory is to overlook a transgression.

Proverbs 21:19
Better to dwell in the wilderness,
 Than with a contentious and angry woman.

Matthew 5:22
But I say to you that whoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment. And whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire.
