Rev. S. Hunter Gray preaches from Mark 10:17-31. A rich man runs to Jesus asking what he must do to inherit eternal life, but when Jesus, loving him, calls him to sell what he has and follow, he goes away sorrowful. Jesus warns how hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom, and when his astonished disciples ask who can be saved, he answers: “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” The gospel rearranges our treasures and our standing, for many who are first will be last, and the last first.
