Jesus' Ministry to the Eager
Revealing the Father Series, Part 6
Malcolm Webber
In Mark 10:17-22, the rich, young ruler was the epitome of success, the model churchgoer! Yet, in spite of having everything going for him, he was still empty. He knew he did not have life. In His response to his questions, Jesus deeply tested him and revealed the hidden idolatry of his heart. The successful young man had obeyed many of the commandments of the law but he had not obeyed the one ultimate requirement of God that lies at the root of them all ‒ the absolute surrender of his heart to God.
