The question posed by the rich young man is one that haunts many of us, one that has to do with our ultimate concern for eternal life. We too, seek Jesus for our answer, for we know He has come to seek and to save the lost. And He has found us! But our sinful human nature still continues to ask the same question, “What must I do to be saved?”

Jesus' love for us (Mark 10:21) produces the answer. Out of the richness of His love, Jesus' gracious death and resurrection is what saves us, even if/when we doubt that He could/would love a poor, miserable sinner like us!
