A Certain Ruler (Mustard Seeds 10)

A Certain Ruler

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.
