The young ruler. Shallow in his understanding of who Jesus was, and overconfident in his understanding of the law. He approaches Jesus with false flattery and ascertains his own merits and righteousness. And the Lord, dissolves it one question at a time. He shows the young man where his true riches lie. He uses the law to reveal the need for a Savior, and then promises salvation to those who believe and follow Him.
Sinclair Ferguson ends the chapter with this question, "Is there anything sticking to your soul with super glue? Are you prepared to ask Jesus to release it?"
A provoking question to take into our weekend.
