Bible Text: Mark 10:13-31 | Preacher: Vic Stander | Series: The Gospel of Mark | The good life. Some people just have it, don’t they? It’s a sign of blessing, a sign of prosperity, a sign of they got everything going right where they are.

It’s as true today as it was when Jesus walked along the way with his disciples in a final journey towards Jerusalem. So when they encounter a rich (not middle-class) young (not old) ruler (not working for someone else) they encounter someone who has the good life. He’s a prime candidate to join the Jesus movement.

How Jesus responds and what this young man does shocks the disciples and one more time, shakes the paradigm of who they think Jesus is:

“Who then can be saved?”
