TRANSCRIPT
In The Hands of Jesus
Mark 10:1, 17-31
Mark 10:1
And he arose from there, and came
into the coasts of Judea by the farther
side of Jordan. The people went out to
him again and, as was his custom, he
taught them again...
Mark 10:17-18
And when he had gone forth into the
way, a man came running, knelt down
to him, and asked him, "Good Master,
what shall I do in order to inherit eternal
life?“ And Jesus said to him, "Why do
you call me good? There is none good
but one, that is, God.
Mark 10:19-20
You know the commandments, 'Do not
commit adultery,' 'Do not kill,' 'Do not
steal,' 'Do not bear false witness,' 'Do
not defraud,' 'Honor your father and
mother.'" And he answered and said to
him, "Master, I have observed all these
from my youth."
Mark 10:21
Then Jesus, looking upon him, loved
him, and said to him, "One thing you
lack; go your way, sell whatsoever you
have, and give to the poor, and you
shall have treasure in heaven;
And come, take up the cross, and
follow me."
Mark 10:22-23
And he was sad at that saying, and
went away grieved, for he had great
possessions.
And Jesus looked around and said to
his disciples, "How difficult it shall be
for those who have riches to enter into
the kingdom of God!"
Mark 10:24
And the disciples were astonished at
his words.
But Jesus answered again, and said to
them, "Children, how hard is it for those
who trust in riches to enter into the
kingdom of God!
Mark 10:25-26
“It is easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle, than for a rich man
to enter into the kingdom of God.”
And they were astonished beyond
measure, saying among themselves,
"Who then can be saved?"
Mark 10:27-28
And Jesus looking upon them said,
"With men it is impossible, but not with
God; for with God all things are
possible."
Then Peter began to say to him,
"Look, we have left everything, and
have followed you."
Mark 10:29
And Jesus answered and said,
"Truly, I say to you:
There is no man who has left house, or
brothers, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children, or lands,
for my sake, and the gospel's…
Mark 10:30-31
"But he shall receive a hundredfold now
in this time, houses, and brothers, and
sisters, and mothers, and children, and
lands, with persecutions; and in the
world to come eternal life.
"But many who are first shall be last,
and the last first."
The Way
The heart of Mark:
Chapters 8, 9, 10
Learning about:
His Messiahship… and
Our discipleship
You Can’t Take It With You
Champagne Dreams
Looks can be deceiving…
…it is easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into
the kingdom of God.
(Mark 10:25)
How does that verse go?
…the love of money is a root
of all kinds of evil.
(1 Timothy 6:10)
Anyone can be greedy…
"...how hard it is for those who
trust in riches
to enter into the kingdom of God.“
(Mark 10:24)
A commendable man…
1. He came running
2. He knelt before Jesus
3. He believed the Word
Failing to recognize Jesus
Jesus – a great rabbi?
Or the Son of God?
Turning Jesus intoanother lifestyle choice
Jesus – a lifestyle choice?
Or Lord of All?
Failing to see we can’tmake it without Him
The false supports of :
- Our own riches
- Our own righteousness
The Gift of Salvation
“…the wages of sin is death;
but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Romans 6:23
1. He sees things clearly !
“Children, how hard is it
for those who trust in riches
to enter into the kingdom of God!”
Mark 10:24
2. He knows what lies ahead !
I know the plans I have for you…
Jer. 29:11
3. He multiplies whatHe handles
…but he shall receive
a hundredfold…
Mark 10:29-30
4. He is able to do anything !
"With men it is impossible,
but not with God;
for with God
all things are possible.“
Mark 10:27
Able to save you!
…He [Jesus] is able…
to save them to the uttermost
that come to God by him,
because he ever lives
to make intercession for them.
Hebrews 7:25
