Continuing the series, Who Do You Say I Am, Dr. Tim Johnson looks at Mark 10:17-31 and the rich young ruler. The young man approached Jesus thinking that eternal life was a transaction that he could conduct. However, following God is not about religion, it is about a relationship with the creator of the universe. If we want God to be our Savior, then we have to replace what we already have or are looking to as a savior.
