The Bruised and Wounded GIFT

Mark 10:17-30

Mark 10:17–30 KJV 1900

And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions. And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

Isaiah 53:6 (NKJV)

All we like sheep have gone astray;

We have turned, every one, to his own way;

And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

1. True Goodness is of God, and the true goodness of the nature of God is revealed in the Law of God. God has revealed Himself in the Law, the Law is GOOD.

2. And when you measure yourself against the Law of God, you don’t come out as good as God. You come out bad, utterly Evil, a hypocrite

3. The only way you can come into eternal life is that you are good as God, and the only way you can be as good as God, is that the perfect goodness of God must be accredited to you by the Son of the Living God, Jesus Christ as a free GIFT,

Meaning you must accept that you have sinned and that you are a sinner and you can’t save yourself, HELL is imminent unless you ask Him to save you.

No man seeks after GOD, Rom 3

His biggest problem is the word GOOD, he uses it loosely.

Galatians 3:24 the law is the tutor that drives you to Jesus Christ, who alone can save you from your own corruption. The purpose of the law is the kill and crush you, and to show how perfectly good God is, and how utterly evil man is, therefore, to produce, guilt and fear and dread and remorse.

Let’s find out if you are good.

He understands the surface of the Law but not the depth of the Law. Matt 5. You been taught—

No sinner can live with pure heart
