What must I do to inherit eternal life? … for human beings it is impossible, for God all things are possible.
Once more Mark is blunt and to the point. What does the rich young man miss? Not just Jesus’ focus on commandments which connect us to others. He approaches Jesus thinking eternal life (grace) can be inherited or is a work to be accomplished. Jesus recenters the challenge on how to let go. How hard that is first us heavily burdened by expectations, desires, and fears. God’s reign is less about us and are strengths and weaknesses than his love which can pull the most bull headed over serious and weighed down self-safe and sound into the Kingdom.
