The Solemn Refusal – Mark 10:17-27
The Gospel of the Kingdom of God
“The Solemn Refusal” – Mark 10:17-27
How difficult it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God
What is hindering or keeping us from fully following the King?
Two Barriers to Kingdom Wealth:
- Self-sufficiency – 10:17-20
All these I have kept since I was a boy
Difficulties of self-sufficiency replaced by goodness of God
What must I do? (Mt. 19:16) – insufficient goodness
- Status – earthly riches – 10:21-25
How hard it is for the rich to enter – eye of a needle
Difficulties of status replaced by grace gifted from God
What do I still lack? (Mt. 19:20) – insufficient funds
Who can enter and be saved? Mark 10:26-27
With God all things are possible
