Blessing the Children
Jesus said that we must become as loving, trusting, and obedient as a little child before we can this.
Enter God's kingdom.
After Jesus had blessed the children that had been brought to him, this person was nearby, watching and listening.
A rich young ruler.
This young ruler was loving himself and his what.
The disciples wanted to be rich and this themselves.
Be important.
After leaving their fishing business and Matthew having left a good-paying government job, the disciples asked this.
They asked, "What shall we have?"
The disciples thought that children were this to be benefited by a visit with Jesus.
Too young.
This rich young ruler ran down after Jesus and His disciples to ask this very important question.
What must I do to inherit eternal life?
The young ruler's possessions were having a bad influence on his what.
The disciples were still expecting Jesus to do this during this time.
To establish His kingdom on earth.
By asking the question, "What shall we have?", they sounded as if they had been hired and now asking for their what.
Asking for their pay.
The children accepted Jesus and some of them even became this for Him later.
Martyrs.
The young ruler called Jesus this.
Good Teacher
Jesus told the young ruler to what.
To Go, sell everything he has and vie to the poor.
The disciples often argued amongst themselves about this.
About who would be the greatest in that kingdom.
Modern Pharisees still believe their pay depends on this.
The amount of their works.
Jesus told the disciples to let the little children come to him and do not what.
Hinder them.
Jesus wanted the young man to not just view Jesus as a respected teacher but this.
The Messiah - the Son of God.
The young ruler's selfishness was very strong, so he went away with feeling this.
He went away sorrowful.
Like many others, the disciples thought that being rich was a sign of this.
God's approval and blessing.
In the parable, the landowner hired men this many times that day for his vineyard.
Four times that day.
Jesus took those children up in His arms and did what.
This young ruler had a form of godliness but he didn't have this.
The Spirit's power.
It is easier for this to happen than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
For a camel to go through the eye of a needle.
! Timothy 6 states, "Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many this".
Many griefs.
God saved us not because of righteous things we had done by because of His this.
His mercy.
