Because they feel they have so much to give up. 2. Because of the tendency to trust in riches. 3. Beâ€" eause riches are apt to engender pride that will not stoop to the humble service of God. 4. Because rich men are apt to be allied in business and socially with many who ar® not Christians, and it reâ€" quires great courage and faith to break away. 5. Because in many cases fhey will have to restore illâ€"gotten riches, to change their business or methods of busiâ€" ness, and sources of gain, which are not truly Christian. 6. Because it is espeâ€" cially difficult to invite them, to reach them with the gospel message."â€"Pelouâ€" bet. Kingdoin of Godâ€"Kingdom of grace and glory. 24. Trust in richesâ€"Here is the danâ€" gor, the place where many a rich man will lose his soul. "Notice, 1. Riches canâ€" not drive away anxiety. 2. They cannot purchase contentment. 3. They eannot buy friends. 4. They cannot lure sicep. 5. They cannot buy appreciation. Let an illiterate man inherit vast wealth, and with it a valuable library. ‘The books will be no more to him than their vatue in dollars and cents. 6. They cannot bring back a lost opportunity. 21. Jesus. . . .. .loved himâ€"The Saviour was drawn toward him. He saw in the young man great possibilities, Sell... giveâ€"Jesus struck right at the centre of the young man‘s difficulty, Me was ready to give aii to God but his proâ€" perty; this was the "one thing" over which he was about to stumble and fall. Some seem to think this command was very difficulg.but it has come to many others and they have stood the test. It came to the apostles, to Martin 1 ther, to John Wesley, and, in fact, in one form or another, the same command comes to every Christiay, This young man‘s riches were his idot. He was asked to use his wealth for God and humanmity. ‘FTreasure in heavenâ€"Notice, 1. Heaven is the only place where genuine, abiding treasure is to be found,; 2. The charaeter of the treasure will be in harmony with the character of heaven. 3. The obtamâ€" ing of this treasure is conditional upon the course we pursue in this world. Take up the crossâ€"Be ready to take the reâ€" proach that will naturally come as a reâ€" sult of taking this course. HMis friemds would call him a fool, and perhaps opâ€" pose him bitterly. Follow meâ€"Be my disciple. 22. Went away grievedâ€"Hr countenanee fell and he went away sorâ€" rowful. He went away reluctantly, but he went. 25. The eye of a needieâ€"It has been suggested that the needle‘s eye was a amall gate, leading into the city, intendea only for foot passengers, and that the eamel could only squeeze through with the greatest difficulty, but "it is now generally thought that the calling this small gate the needle‘s eye is a modern eustom, and mot in use in the time of Christ." The proverb used by Christ was common in his day, and expressed not the difficulty, but the impossibility of entering the kingdom of heaven, while the heart was trusting in riches or the things of this world. 26. Astonishedâ€" Like all Jews, they had been accustomed to regard worldly prosperity as a special mark of favor of God.â€"Geikie.

Kneeledâ€"In this he was showing Jesus great respect and was recognizing him as a spiritual authority above the priest or rabbi. Masterâ€"Or teacher. What shall I do, ete.â€""What act of sacrifice or what penance?" His idea is that he must do something to purchase eternal life. His question shows that he believes in a future state; he was not a Sadducee. Eternal lifeâ€" 20. Have I observedâ€"He was strictly moral and had lived a good life outâ€" wardly. He then asked (Matt, xix. 20) what he lacked yet. He was conscious of a lack in his spiritual life, and this question was a serious inquiry as to its cause. 21. Jesus. .. ...loved himâ€"The Saviour ‘The divine life implanted in the soul by the Holy Spirit. It begins in this life but will endure forever. 18. What callâ€" est thou me goodâ€"Christ did not say that he was not good, or was not God. If the young man called Christ "good," the amnestion Jesus asked would lead deâ€" the question Jesus asked wou‘ld ‘cad O rectly to his divinity. Why do you eall me good? Do you see me merely as a mar, or are you looking at m as the Messiah? Do you recognize me as a diâ€" vine teacher, whose teaching is eternally true, and are you willing thus to accept my instruction?* None good but oneâ€"God is the omly one who is absolutely an eternally good; but Christ is God and therefore Christ is "good," in this absoâ€" lute and unlimited sense. 19. The commandmentsâ€"According to Matthew Jesus said, "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." The young man asked Jesus which special or great commandment he referred to. Jesus replied by enumerating the commandâ€" ments in this verse. He referred only to the second table of the law, which relates to the duties of man to man. then can be saved*â€"All men by nature «hare the same guilt and love of the world. How may a rich man _ enter heaven? 1. It is always difficult. 2. It is impossible if in mind and heart he <leaves to his wealth. 3. It becomes Euible by a miracle of divine grace.â€" nge. Many who have not riches are seeking wealth as the chief good, because they already trust in it.â€"Schaff. 27. With men it is impossibleâ€"Accordâ€" ing to the power and ability of men this is impossible, but CGod, by his tver. is able to save a man that even t things The Rich Young Kulerâ€"Mark 16; 17â€"31 chool. that allured bim most will lose their attraction to him. "Christ can remove the difficulties and renew the heart." III. Rewards of following Christ (vs, 28â€"31). 28. Have left allâ€"Their boats and nets and fish and father were everyâ€" thing ot them. They might, indeed, look for a reward; for it had been promised. But this temper is wrong, so far as it puts forth claims for our good deeds, as though we deserved the rewards at Christ‘s hands. What pay does a man dGeserve for giving up a copper or pepper corn for a palacetâ€"Jacobus. The little that a poor man has is as much his all as are the millions of the rich man. 29. That hath left house, ete.â€"In the days ‘m‘ Jesus those who followed him were obliged, generally, to forsake house and home, and to attend him. In our time it is not often required that we should literally leave them; but it is always required that we love them less than we do him, that we give up all that is conâ€" sistent with religion, and that we be ready to give up all when he demands it. â€"Barnes. Or wifeâ€"Omitted, and rightly o. in the revised version. For my sake â€"Leaving &ll must not spring from a desire for reward, but from devotion to Christ. And the gospel‘sâ€"While Jesus distinguishes between himself and the gospel, yet he implies that he and the gospel are inseparable. The gospel is the "sood news" concerning Jesus. "Without him the gospel would be nothing; withâ€" out the gospel men would know nothing III. Divine promises. "Thou shalt have treasure in heaven" (v. 21). "OUne may exchange earthly for heavenly â€"riches, He may transmute the temporary and perishable goods of this world into imâ€" perishable treasure." It is said that a gwentleman went into the office of a merâ€" chant and, seeing an unusual brightness in his face, said: "What are you up to? Had some good news*" "No, only thinkâ€" ing of a little investment." "L thought so; a good one, I‘ll be bound." "I think so; what would you say about one thouâ€" sand per cent?" "You are raving." "Not a bit of it, and the very best security, a royal pledge." "Now I know you are crazy." ""Not a bit of it; this," wheelâ€" ing around in his chair and laying is hand on a paper, "is a cheque for a poor missionary that is sick and in need. The Scripture says ‘He that hath pity on the poor lendeth to the Lord‘ (Psa. xvii. 19), but I never wakened to the fact of what interest he pays until yesterday, when our preacher startled me by saying he had promised ten thousand percent. ‘And every one that hath left houses or brethâ€" ren, or lands, for my name‘s sake, shall receive an hundredâ€"fold and inherit eterâ€" nal life: This text was in my mind when you came in. Not that 1 can lay claim to the selfâ€"sacrifice the text indiâ€" cates, but my gift to the poor is a loan to the Lord, and shall reap a good diviâ€" dend, because the Lord has guaranteed it." DROWNING MAN ALMOST SINKES RESCUER. I. Divine poverty. _ "Sell whatsoever thou hast" (v, 21.) _ Andrew Murray says, "To the rich young ruler poverty was but the path to perfection. The disciple is not above his Master, but every one who is perfected shall be as his Master. Poverty was part of that mysterious discipline of selfâ€"denial and suffering through which it became God to perfect the Master. While he was on earth poverty was to be the mark of all those who would be always with their master and wholy like their master, Ae cording to the diversity of gifis and cirâ€" cumstances, and calling, the same spirit may be seen in apparently conflicting paths of life. There is a perfection which is sougth in the right possession and use of earthly goods as the Master‘s stewâ€" ard; there is also a perfeetion which secks even in external things to be as the Master Himself was, and in poverty to bear witness to the reality and siffiâ€" cieney of heavenly thi:lfi!.” of him."â€"Morison. 30. An hundredfoldâ€"There _ are few greater promises than this. "This | is symbolical, and expresses an immeasurâ€" able advantage."â€"Lange. Houses, ete.â€" Not literally a hundred houses, etc., but he obtains a hundredfold more of joy and satisfaction than he loses. "What was a barren rock now becomes a gold mine." With persecutionsâ€"That is, he must expect persecutions in this world. Eternal lifeâ€"Which will infinitely more than make up for all Christian‘s trials here. "Here are ages enjoyment that no arithmetic can compute; oceans of pleaâ€" sure, whose majestic billows rise from the depths of infinitude, and break on no shore!"â€"David Thomas. 31. First shall at lastâ€"The lesson intended to be taught here is that those who occupy important positions and who appear to be first in labor and wisdom rere may in the nexi world be foreed to give place to others who have been of less renown Eternal life is Godâ€"given to man, and not inhabited by anything that man can do (Rom. vi. 23.)
