Mark 10:17-31
Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor's sermon is based on the Gospel lesson from Mark 10:17-31, when a rich man seems to say, "I’ve done all that I understand the Bible has expected of me, but there still is no peace," Jesus answers with profound love. “You lack one thing. Go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor and you will have treasures in heaven." So, what's happening here? This is the only time in Mark’s gospel when Jesus makes such a radical claim on someone. Jesus was calling the man to look away from what he had done and what he could do, and into the eternal love of God. Amen!
