This week is the account of the Rich Young Ruler. We will see how Jesus deals with the heart of this man. Jesus does three things in this text. He exposes the heart of legalism. He offers the gospel alternative. He instructs and nurtures the faith of his disciples.
The text is Matthew 19:16-30.
We will consider these four points from the text
1. A question from a legalist.
2. The answer of the savior.
3. The obstacle in his way.
4. The lessons for Jesus’ disciples.
