“What the Rich Young Man Was Unable to See”

Pastor Joey Anjiki

1. The limit of works

* Mark 10:21 (See above)

2. What blinds spiritual eyes

* Mark 10:23 (See above)

* Mark 10:25 (See above)

* Why is it difficult for people who are rich to enter the kingdom of God? Can success be obtained purely by one’s own effort?

* 1 Timothy 6:17-19 “Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.” (NIV)

3. What God can do

* Mark 10:27 (See above)

* A statue of Christ in Europe

Thoughts to share at mini church:

1. What was Jesus hoping the young man to notice through his conversation with him?

2. Why was the young man unable to notice the truth about salvation?
