10e chapitre de Marc, versets 21-34

How much do I really live by God's Word?

For that matter, how much do you?

How serious do you think our Lord and Saviour was when He said these things (as recorded by John Mark)?

^^ .. .. And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him,
"You lack one thing:
go, sell all that you have and give to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven;
and come, follow Me."

Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful,
for he had great possessions.

And Jesus looked around and said to His disciples,
"How difficult it will be for those who have wealth
to enter the kingdom of God!"

And the disciples were amazed at His words. But Jesus said to them again,
"Children, how difficult it is to enter the kingdom of God!
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."

And they were exceedingly astonished, and said to Him,
"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."

Peter began to say to Him,
"See, we have left everything and followed you."

Jesus said,
"Truly, I say to you, there is no one
who has left house or brothers or sisters
or mother or father or children or lands,
for My sake and for the gospel,
who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time,
houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands,
with persecutions,
and in the age to come eternal life.
But many who are first will be last, and the last first."

And they were on the road, going up to Jerusalem, and Jesus was walking ahead of them. And they were amazed, and those who followed were afraid.

And taking the twelve again,
He began to tell them what was to happen to Him, saying,
"See, we are going up to Jerusalem,
and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests
and the scribes,
and they will condemn Him to death
and deliver Him over to the Gentiles.
And they will mock Him and spit on Him,
and flog Him and kill Him.
And after three days He will rise." .. .. ^^
