Read OnlineAs Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments…” Mark 10:17–19Jesus addresses different people in different ways. He chastised the proud and arrogant who came to trap Him. He was exceptionally gentle and kind to the repentant sinner who came in tears. He spoke in parables and figures of speech to those who were curious but had little faith. And to those who came with openness, sincerely seeking the truth, He spoke clearly, lovingly and directly.Today's Gospel presents us with the familiar story of the Rich Young Man. Notice how this young man came to Jesus. First, he “ran up” to Jesus. This suggests he was very desirous to speak with our Lord. He also knelt down before Jesus, which points to his humility and reverence. Then he asked Jesus a  direct and important question. He didn't ask Jesus to heal someone. He wasn't looking for a miracle or a personal favor. Instead, this young man asked the question we should all ask Jesus every day. “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Is this a question that you ponder and ask our Lord?As the story unfolds, Jesus gives two answers. First, He gives the young man the fundamental answer to his question. Eternal life is obtained by keeping away from serious sin, out of love and obedience to the will of God. But after the young man inquires further, Jesus gives him a much deeper answer. This second answer was one based on a deep love for this young man because it presented the key to perfection. “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”Many people go through life fulfilling the most fundamental precepts of holiness. They avoid serious sin so as to remain in a state of grace. And this is good. But Jesus wants so much more: He wants perfection. When we sincerely seek out perfection, Jesus will answer us as He answered the Rich Young Man. Perfection requires the deepest purification from all unhealthy attachments. Most people have many attachments that hinder perfection. Those attachments might not be mortal sins, but they are venial sins, or spiritual imperfections. Therefore, it's important to know that if you want perfection, and if you humble yourself before our Lord and sincerely ask how to obtain it, He will lovingly invite you to detach from everything but God and His holy will for your life. What that means practically for you must be prayerfully discerned.Reflect, today, upon whether or not you could join this rich young man in his humble questions posed to Jesus. Do you want to know how to be perfect? If so, are you ready to respond to Jesus' answer? Are you willing to abandon everything that is a hindrance to the will of God so that you can follow Him and fulfill His perfect will? Ponder this question and commit yourself to the full embrace of Jesus' answer and you will become richer in what matters than you could ever imagine.My generous Lord, You call me to perfection. You call me to turn from everything that hinders my perfect love of You and my full embrace of Your will. Please help me to sincerely turn to You every day, seeking only Your full will in all things. As I do, please set me free from all that keeps me from the life of perfection to which I am called. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: Nheyob, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons  Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2025 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

- What is the best gift you've ever received? - What is the first thing you remember spending “a lot” of money on? (Whatever “a lot” meant to you at the time!) - What impacted you from the message? - Read Mark 10:17–27. Why do you think Jesus highlighted the Rich Young Man's wealth as a barrier to following him? Do your finances affect your faith? Explain. - How can generosity shift our trust from money to God? Do you have an experience with being generous that changed your trust in God? - Much of the western world is considered to be materialistic or possessionfocused. Do you fall into those categories? What sort of relationship do you have with your possessions? - Read Philippians 4:10–13. What perspective allows Paul to write these words? How is contentment found, according to Scripture? Where do we look for it instead? - How can you practice whole life stewardship (giving of your time, talents and treasure)? Give some examples from your own life.

Fr, Mike compares the story of the rich young man to the story of Zacchaeus, highlighting the difference in their willingness to follow Christ with their whole hearts. Looking at the stories of these young men, Fr. Mike invites us to reflect on our willingness to follow Christ with all that we are and all that we have. Today we read Luke 17-19 and Proverbs 26:13-16. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear.

The phrase, “Easier said than done” is said of a task that is easier to talk about than to do. We've been talking about the task of salvation. Last week we heard how the rich young ruler talked about how he had followed the commandments and how Jesus had exposed the fact that he didn't actually do them.  Clearly the commandments are easier said than done. Today, Jesus takes it even further when He says, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” This leads the disciples to ask, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” Only God can save us and that is what He does in Christ. For with Jesus word and deed are one and the same. In other words, what Jesus says is done every time. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Today features the famous Gospel passage of the rich young man. Fr. Mattingly gives an analogy to help understand the dilemma at the heart of this moving episode.

In this episode of What's The Dill, we dive into the powerful story of the Rich Young Man from the Bible and how it challenges us to reflect on our own attachment to earthly possessions. We explore what it means to give our whole heart to Jesus when He invites us to follow Him, and how letting go of material things can open the door to true freedom in Christ. Join us as we discuss practical ways to live more fully for God and respond to His call with courage and trust.

This Gospel is all about how rich people can't get to Heaven...right?  Not really.  The Rich Young Man isn't ready to follow Jesus because his love is disoreded.

Rich Young Man (28th Sunday in Ordinary Time) October 13, 2024.

A Rich Young Man Misses His Chance

Jesus asked the Rich Young Man, “Why do you call me good?” What or who do we consider to be good? Do we think we're good and have life handled? Join Dean Peet as he explores these questions in Mark chapter 10, verses 17-31

After the Rich Young Man goes away sad, Jesus tells his disciples twice that it will be difficult for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God.  The possession of riches comes with the danger of relying on them too much, seeking our happiness in them, falling into a kind of practical idolatry.  The solution to this is detachment or poverty of spirit.   Detachment frees our hearts to love God and others.  https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

We hear two of Jesus' favorite words in our Gospel today: Follow me! Where in the past these words were met with tremendous faith by the apostles, today they are met with sadness and rejection. We're talking about the rich young man who's unfulfilled longings bring him to the feet of Jesus. Diagnosing his restlessness, Our Lord calls him to leave behind his possessions, a cure that proves too burdensome to be carried out. Exploring the spiritual theme of detachment as well as the theological idea of sloth we discover that each of us today are just as prone to abandoning Jesus as the rich young man was years ago.

September 22, 2024 The post Zaccheus and the Rich Young Man appeared first on Crossview EFCA Church.

In his sermon "The Spirit Led Life – Part 8: Prosperity," Pastor Daniel Stevens discusses an alternative to a life driven by selfish pleasure or dead religion, presenting the "Spirit-led life" as the "third option." Referencing Mark 8:35 and the story of the Rich Young Man from Mark 10:24-31, Pastor Stevens highlights the balance between living for this life and the next. He emphasizes that while sacrifice is necessary, serving Jesus offers profound benefits in the present, including fulfillment and a sense of community.Pastor Daniel also explores the concept of prosperity, discussing the importance of laying down material possessions and embracing a life of faith, as exemplified by Hebrews 11:6. He speaks to the current generation's quest for purpose, noting that material indulgence doesn't equate to happiness. Concluding with 1 Timothy 6:6-12, Pastor Daniel invites the audience to embark on the adventure of a devoted life for Christ, finding joy and purpose in the present while anticipating eternal rewards.#SpiritLedLife #ProsperityInFaith #LifeWithPurpose #FaithAdventure #SacrificeAndReward #LivingForChrist #PresentAndEternal #ChristianCommunity #GospelPromise #AdventureInFaith[ Video Version ] / [ Sermon Notes ][ Daily Devotions with Pastor Daniel ]STAY CONNECTEDDaily Devotionals with Pastor Daniel: http://goodhope.ag/devotionsSermon Podcast: https://sermons.goodhope.agInstagram: http://instagram.com/goodhopemnFacebook: http://fb.com/goodhopemn

Fr. Mike highlights the reality of sin and our capacity to choose hell as we read about Jesus' teachings on temptations, divorce, and wealth. Jesus' teachings can be challenging, but following him is the path to true holiness. Today we read Mark 9-10 and Psalm 29. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/bibleinayear. Please note: The Bible contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.

As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus answered him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments…” Mark 10:17–19Jesus addresses different people in different ways. He chastised the proud and arrogant who came to trap Him. He was exceptionally gentle and kind to the repentant sinner who came in tears. He spoke in parables and figures of speech to those who were curious but had little faith. And to those who came with openness, sincerely seeking the truth, He spoke clearly, lovingly and directly.Today's Gospel presents us with the familiar story of the Rich Young Man. Notice how this young man came to Jesus. First, he “ran up” to Jesus. This suggests he was very desirous to speak with our Lord. He also knelt down before Jesus, which points to his humility and reverence. Then he asked Jesus a direct and important question. He didn't ask Jesus to heal someone. He wasn't looking for a miracle or a personal favor. Instead, this young man asked the question we should all ask Jesus every day. “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Is this a question that you ponder and ask our Lord?As the story unfolds, Jesus gives two answers. First, He gives the young man the fundamental answer to his question. Eternal life is obtained by keeping away from serious sin, out of love and obedience to the will of God. But after the young man inquires further, Jesus gives him a much deeper answer. This second answer was one based on a deep love for this young man because it presented the key to perfection. “You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”Many people go through life fulfilling the most fundamental precepts of holiness. They avoid serious sin so as to remain in a state of grace. And this is good. But Jesus wants so much more: He wants perfection. When we sincerely seek out perfection, Jesus will answer us as He answered the Rich Young Man. Perfection requires the deepest purification from all unhealthy attachments. Most people have many attachments that hinder perfection. Those attachments might not be mortal sins, but they are venial sins, or spiritual imperfections. Therefore, it's important to know that if you want perfection, and if you humble yourself before our Lord and sincerely ask how to obtain it, He will lovingly invite you to detach from everything but God and His holy will for your life. What that means practically for you must be prayerfully discerned.Reflect, today, upon whether or not you could join this rich young man in his humble questions posed to Jesus. Do you want to know how to be perfect? If so, are you ready to respond to Jesus' answer? Are you willing to abandon everything that is a hindrance to the will of God so that you can follow Him and fulfill His perfect will? Ponder this question and commit yourself to the full embrace of Jesus' answer and you will become richer in what matters than you could ever imagine.My generous Lord, You call me to perfection. You call me to turn from everything that hinders my perfect love of You and my full embrace of Your will. Please help me to sincerely turn to You every day, seeking only Your full will in all things. As I do, please set me free from all that keeps me from the life of perfection to which I am called. Jesus, I trust in You.Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.
