Luke 18:18-30. Oct. 27th, 2022
Verbatim fragments
This certain ruler must have been
quite excited when Jesus said,
"There is still one thing lacking."
Only one thing! After a life
of disciplined obedience
the ruler might be able
to work himself into eternal life?
Just that little bit of faith
is all we need? Really?
We can't manufacture even
that little bit of faith ourselves.
It’s gift, impossible for mortals
but possible for God.
The God of the impossible.
Jesus is rejected and killed.
Raised. It is all grace.
It is resurrection all the way through.
God doesn't meet
the little bit we have done
(the mustard seed, the one thing)
and top it up.
It's grace through and through.
