Jesus. He kneeled before Jesus – that was genuine humility.

way. He asked him why did he call Him good. Only God is good Jesus said.

to the rich young ruler.

more thing that he needed to do.

Mark 10:21. He was to sell everything he had
and then give the money to the poor. Then:-
1-
He
would have Treasure in Heaven.

He

3-
He
could follow Jesus.
i)
Mark 10:22. The young man was sad when he

Pardon them.

God that I am Freely Forgiven And Abundantly Pardoned)
Chris.
The rich young man was indeed a
pure young man but he had false security in his wealth and belongings. I
believe that what he said to Jesus was really true. He had kept all the
Commandments of God as he was growing up. His deep trust, however, was not in
the Lord, it was in his possessions. His misplaced trust did not prevent Jesus
from loving him.
