Well, it seems to me that if the great commandment is to love God with all your heart, the

great act of disobedience is failing to do so.

That's the root problem of man, that he doesn't love God with all of his heart.

Jesus is going around gaining quite a reputation for himself. He's healing people and performing miracles and teaching.

And this young guy, very wealthy, he comes running to Jesus.

He doesn't walk.

He runs in his enthusiasm, runs up to Jesus, falls down in front of Jesus, and he says,

good master, what must I do to inherit eternal life?

That's the ultimate question.

What do I have to do to inherit eternal life?

What do I have to do to get into the kingdom?

What did Jesus say?

Well, first place, the thing you have to do is you have to go and join the Boy Scouts.

And then after that, you have to earn 55 merit badges.

And when you're done with that, you have to join the church.

You have to become an elder, you know, deacon, trustee, and all these things, and make sure

you did that.

That's not what he said.

Nor did he say, you have to believe on me in my death and come in the kingdom.

On this precation, Jesus didn't do that at all.

What did he say?

Does anybody remember what he said to that guy?
