The Trap

Mark 10:17-27

For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is

written, “CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO DOES NOT ABIDE BY ALL

THINGS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW, TO PERFORM

THEM.” 11Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident;

for, “THE RIGHTEOUS MAN SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”…

22But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise

by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23But

before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut

up to the faith which was later to be revealed. 24Therefore the Law has

become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by

faith. Galatians 3:4-6 [see Galatians 3:10-4:11]

What is one distraction you will set aside from your life this week to

help you concentrate more on your relationship to Jesus Christ?

Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, “One thing

you lack: go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will

have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” Mark 10:21
