Preacher: Malcolm Drew  Bible passage: Mark 10:17-31.  One of the most powerful insights of the gospel narrative is the observation of Jesus heart for this rich young man – ‘He look on him and loved him’.  Yet he walked away sad and chose what was not life-giving. He had asked what he must do to inherit eternal life? … Jesus identified the one things that ruled this young man’s life and kept him from actually entering into what he was searching for.  There is a response to be made in order to receive life.  Losing our life in order to find it sounds unattractive, our mind-set often insists that the loss involved in following Jesus would be too great – this shows a distorted view of Jesus love.
