Jesus exclaimed, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” This statement shook the disciples to their core. The issue for the disciples wasn’t so much that they were concerned about the salvation of others. They were concerned for themselves. They just saw a man who seemed to meet all the requirements for heaven, according to their religion, be turned away by Jesus. He apparently kept the commandments, and he was rich. The way that they understood it, to be rich meant that God approved of you and that’s why he blessed you.

A man ran up to Jesus, and he fell on his knees before him. And what he said to Jesus was revealing. He said, “Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life.” It’s a good question, but it’s wrongly phrased. It contains some false assumptions – assumptions that we often make too – and Jesus is about to unpack them for him. The first wrong assumption that this man made was that anyone could be good. Of course, Jesus wasn’t a mere man, but this young man didn’t know that. He considered himself good, so he thought that Jesus must be good as well. So, Jesus quoted Scripture to him to challenge him, reminding him that no one is good except God alone. There’s a double whammy in that, because he was in fact God himself.

Jesus welcomed the children and gave an important lesson in what God is like. Jesus gave us an important lesson in how to be saved. This seems to be a pretty straight-forward question, doesn’t it? But Jesus knows that for these people, it’s far from simple. This was, in fact the central question of the Jewish religion, which was all about being worthy of eternal life through doing. The Jewish religious teachers were always arguing about what exactly you had to do, and coming up with lists and rules for things to do, so that God might consider you worthy of eternal life.

The old ache validates its truth: When new life comes through trial, we seldom value the process as much as we treasure the outcome.
The son of God brought life on Earth through death. He took upon a crown of thorns to bring salvation to humanity.
One of the most critical verses we find in scripture is in Jesus’ conversation with Nicodemus. Jesus told him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3) . Being born again is undeniably essential for our salvation. But what exactly is our
