THK $l)NDAY SCHOOL LESSON I
April 29, 1928.
The* Cost of Discipleship
TEXT: Mark ^ltfl7-27; 12:41-44
The story of the rifch young ruler is
given the same connection in each of
?the Gospels. The Lore! had started
on His journey to death. He had
called upon His disciples for self
l denial. He had shown them that to!
( enter His kingdom one must become !
as a Jittle child. This gives greater
^emphasis to his demand from the rich
young man that he should relinquish ?
his grasp upon riches and follow Him. !
This young man comes running to
Jesus and, kneeling down, he ask ? j
P'Good Master, what shall I do th::t '
'I may inherit eternal life?" (v. 17).
Let us give him credit for being sin
cere and for living up to . the light
j he had. However, he needed/ more"
.light, for, with all his righteousness,
he Avas apparently not conscious of
.possessing eternal life. ''What shall
I DO to INHERIT?" wae*' ever the
question of the natural man. It is
the very path on which the heathen
are still toiling.
The Saviour seeks to get at this
young man's motive. "Why callest
thou me good ? There is none good
hut one, that is, God" (v. 18). Some
(have sought to use these words as I
.a proof-text against the divinity of
?Christ. They miss the point alto
I gether. In no recorded instance in |
Jewish literature was a rabhi address- |
ed as ''good." It was an adjective
reserved for God alone.
This young man used the word as
a- title of Christ, without apprehend- j
ing the implication if he saw no more I
in him than a teacher. This young j
pnan needed a divine Saviour. Either j
Jesus is here repudiating His own !
' yinlessness, or else He is claiming to |
; be God. Which is it? Let the con- j
text decide!
Jesus next sends this proud relig- j
ionist to the law (v. 19). He recites ?
some of the commandments to him. |
You think salvation is by DOING, j
How far has your DOING progress- :
ed ? Is eternal life in sight? The'
young man answers: "All these have
I observed" (v. 20). There was no1
doubt sincerity in his answer, yet, 1
like many another good and amiable j
citizen, brought up in favorable sur- j
1 roundings, he was doceived. "All
have sinned and come short, of the |
glory of God" (Rom. 3:23). !,
"Jesus beholding him, loved him"j
(v. 21). That is an interesting side- j
light. Here was a man of influence I
(and means. Some would have jollied j
ihim along and secured his backing.!
He loved him ? therefore He dealt j
plainly with him. Jesus recognized ,
his sincerity and his good moral qual- !
ities. He never cast a chilling look j
on anything worthy in human nature, I
yet He would never allow that there |
was any degree of natural goodness 1
.that could merit eternal life.
"One thing thou laekest." There's
many a lovable man, clenn and up
right ? yet with an irreparable blank
in hit life. An old man was once
asked if a certain relative of his had
been converted. lie replied: ''No, he
is not a saint yet, but he is a very
sweet sinner." The words describe i
many a man.
''Go thy way," said Jesus, ''self
whatsoever thou hast, and give to the
poor" (v. 21). Jesus knows where
the shoe pinches. A little surgerj
was needed in this case. This young
man evidently was *iot easily separ
ated from his cash. The law was
1 given to teach men their true condi
tion. It had failed to teach this
, youth that money was his idol.
Will he come, take up the cross
and follow Jesus? Alas ? "he was
sr.d at that saying, and went away
I grieved: for ho had great possessions"
j(v. 22). Tn plain words--money HAD
j IT I M. Our Lord's words in v. 24 de
scribe his case. He ''trusted in rich
j,es."
"How hardly shall they that have
riches enter into the kingdom ofi
God!" (v. 23). There is no merit in |
I poverty and no evil in money itself. I
.It all depends upon whether or not'
a man's TRUST is 1n money. Even
i'a poor man may be caught im the
toils of the love of money, making
jthe getting of it. his first thought.
: "It. is easier for a camel to go
through the rye of a needle' than for
a rich man to enter into the kingdom
of God" (v. 2r>). How few rich men
accept Christ! The same may be j
[said of the would-be rich. When I
j one's chief thought is the attainment
or financial success ,he hns little time j
[for spiritual things. |
Our Lord's statement has been ex- |
(plained as a reference to the gate I
| of a city called "needle's eye gate",
i through which a camel could not pass,
i 'I ho idea of such a gate, however,
(seems to lack confirmation. It is at
j least striking to note that the Greek
[words for "camel" and ''rope" are
| very similar, and there is a possibilit y
[of n copyist's error (camel? ''kamel
Rop*v -''kamilos"). ^Whetiher
the figure is that of a camel or that
of a rope passing through the eye
of a needle, the thought is of the
(humanly impossible.
"They were astonished" (v. 20).
.Such a remark was nough to astonish

popular favor.

any Jew. They had always regarded
temporal prosperity as a special token
of divine favor. ''With men it is
.impossible," replied Jesus, "but not
with God" (v. 27). The impossible
thing wns not so much in saving n
.rich man as in making him "poor
,in spirit" so he could desire to be
saved. That is a miracle of grace.
In contrast with the case of this
xrich youth is that of the widow who
?gave her all (12:41-44). Jesus sat I
hatching the people as they cast theiir
gifts into the temple treasury. He
saw the rich cast In much He navr
'the poor give their pennies. But He
,was always remarkable for seeing
much in little, the sublime in the
j?im pie.
A poor widow drops in her two
mites. "This poor widow hath cast
more in than nil they which have cast
into the treasury," said the Master.
She had given gloriously. The tink
ling of her two coins has reverber
at<*l through the universe. Unaware
,that any eye had seen hef, she had
been made famous. To all time, the
incense of her sacrifice has remained
in the church, like tho perfume of
Marv's alabaster box, which filled
the house.
''If we cannot give the lordly nums
The rich men gave with pride,
We may east therein the widow's mito
As wf pans the Saviour's side."
