The Rich Man’s Choice
1. Grief of the Rich Man — Jesus’ call on the rich man was a 5-step command: go, sell, give, come, follow! How would you respond to such a call? (v21)
2. Disappointment of Peter — Peter, in a tone of melancholy sought assurance of Christ as to what the reward would be at the price of having left all to follow Him. (v28)
Scripture of the Day (NT): Mark 10a (v1-27)
