Today's Reading From Mark 10.1-31

The New Testament in One Year Reading Plan
Mark 10.1-31, Commentaries, verse by verse
In Mark 10.1-12 and Mat 19.1-9, Jesus spoke about divorce. God hates divorce (Mal 2.16). Even with all these teachings on divorce, the divorce rate among Evangelical Christians are the same as the world!

The passage Mark 10.13-31 is divided into two sections Jesus (Mark 10.13-16; Mat 19.13-15; Luke 18.15-17) and the little children and the rich young ruler (Mark 10.17-31; Mat 19.16-30; Luke 18.18-30)
People brought their children to be blessed by Jesus. The disciples rebuked them. Jesus was indignant andsaid that the kingdom of heaven belongs to the little children. What he meant was to enter the Kingdom, you have the heart and attitude as a small child with trust and faith. Kids tend to obey easier than adults.
The second section had to do with the rich young ruler. He came to Jesus and said "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus told him "Why call me good? No one is good except God alone. Then He said to him that he knew the commandments. He told Jesus that he had observed all these commandments since he was very young. The young man was very sincere in his attitude. Jesus told him that there was one thing he lacked, that he should give all he had to the poor, follow Him and he would have treasure in heaven. The young man walked away. You notice Jesus did not go after him and say I will make it easier. Jesus expext a TOTAL commitment from that rich young man. What is the center of your life?
