It's Expensive, But it's Affordable

Hook

The assembly line concept is believed to have originated around the 14th century, with examples in medieval shipbuilding and the Venetian Arsenal's production of ships down a canal. Eli Whitney is credited with inventing the assembly line in the United States between 1797 and 1801, using standardized equipment and a large unskilled workforce to produce large quantities of identical gun parts quickly and cheaply.

The name we hear most on the topic of assembly lines is not Eli Whitney though. Henry Ford is known to revolutionize the concept of the assembly line.

Henry Ford is often credited with inventing the automotive assembly line, installing the first moving assembly line for mass-producing an entire automobile on December 1, 1913. Ford's innovation reduced the time it took to build a car from over 12 hours to 1 hour and 33 minutes, and allowed him to crank out millions of Model T vehicles annually. In 1908, the car sold for $825 and by 1925 it only sold for only $260.

Through the assembly line something that was once only accessible to the rich now is affordable for everyone.

Book

Mark 10:17-31

A. Young v. 17-18

This young man is in a position of great wealth

In these days thinkers or teachers were popular

Some commentators would say that those of wealth would have access to the best teachers

So this man could’ve been coming to Jesus with the perspective that this is one of the best teachers in the land.

Here Jesus already begins to work his this man’s perspective - there’s only one who is good.

but this ruler ask a question that I believe that at some point in our life we all ponder about… what comes after I die?

If you are not wondering this question, i hope you start.

Because we can’t be too near sided but we must make decisions with eternity in mind!!

When Jesus ask him this question he first points to what the young rich ruler is doing.

The 10 commandments

Leviticus 9:1–4 “And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel; And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the Lord. And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering; Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the Lord; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the Lord will appear unto you.”
