Presentation transcript:

Who doesn’t want eternal life? I find myself thinking or talking to someone about ‘eternal life’ at some point each week. I also find myself comparing my walk with God with the teachings of Jesus to those he spoke about regarding ‘eternal life’. And, I find that whether it is me – or those I speak with – we all want to know how we can “obtain eternal life”

(Good) Teacher, what (good) shall I do to inherit eternal life (Good) Teacher, what (good) shall I do to inherit eternal life? (Matt 19:16) (Mk 10:17, Lk 10:18)

Eternal life is all about kingdom (living) If you want to enter the kingdom: “keep the commandments.” Matt 19:16-19 Is that all? It is if nothing else stood between you and God. For the rich man, however, his wealth was this man’s idol/god. Matt 19:21-24

The real question: who can obtain salvation The real question: who can obtain salvation? Not possible with people, but with God all things are possible Matt 19:16, 25-26

Kingdom Living = becoming last Followers of Jesus: “We have left everything and followed you”: I don’t depend on myself… I depend on God. Cp. Matt 4:3-4 In following Jesus – they live (think, behave) like Him. The outcome: “In the regeneration” Matt 19:28-30 “You who follow Me…” will reign with Christ. V. 28 Inherit eternal life. V. 29 “Many who are first will be last; and the last, first.” v. 30

The rich can “follow Jesus” Parable: “Laborers in the vineyard” (Matt 20:1-16) NOTE: this parable has multiple messages and allusions: from the landowner’s vs. laborer’ perspectives. Another message: how those in “the kingdom of heaven” follow God’s gracious behavior toward others.

Citizens of the “Last, being first” Jesus’ example. Phil. 2:5ff Who emptied Himself. Obedient (to death of self). Exalted by God. Followers of Jesus: cp. Acts 4:32-35 Empty ourselves… and follow Jesus Keep the commandments.
