Welcome to Timeless Truth with Pastor Jim Thomas. In season 2, Pastor Jim is leading us in a study of Mark. Today’s passage is Mark 10:17-31
Mark: It’s All About Jesus—Who is Jesus?—How should we respond to Jesus?
“The fundamental questions in every religion are the same. By what authority do we believe and teach what we believe and teach? By what means can sinful men and women be reconciled to God, or ‘saved’?”
John Stott
“There is no mark of God’s special favor in possessions, nor in the lack of them. The peculiar danger confronting the rich, however, lies in the false sense of security which wealth creates and in the temptation to trust in material resources and personal power when what is demanded by the Law and the gospel is a whole-hearted reliance upon God.”
William L. Lane
- Jesus had a high view of scripture as God’s revelation
- Jesus will have the final say on who enters the kingdom of God
- Following Jesus involves costly sacrifice but results in greater reward
“The most miserable person in the world is not the person who doesn’t have what he wants, but the person who has what he wants and has found out that it doesn’t make any difference.”
Corrie Ten Boom
