Reading:<\/p>\n

Mark 10:17-31<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

Ah, me. This<\/i> passage, this<\/i> verse, this<\/i> lesson.<\/p>\n

“Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way…give to the poor…and come, take up the cross, and follow me”<\/span> (Mark 10:21).<\/p>\n

This passage is the International Bible Study for this coming Sunday (October 25, 2009).<\/p>\n

So chew these questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How committed am I to living by God’s commands and precepts?<\/li>\n
  2. Would I allow “one thing” to keep me from inheriting eternal life?<\/li>\n
  3. Am I too attached to my stuff to give any of it away at Christ’s command?<\/li>\n
  4. What should motivate my giving to the poor?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I also commented on this passage a few years ago for Christian Light Publication<\/a>‘s Sunday School quarterly lesson for January 5, 2003: The Rich Man — Sad<\/a><\/p>\n
