series: let's go back to jesus

Do you wonder about Heaven? Or are you more often preoccupied with worldly things? When Jesus invites you to come to him, will you be like the rich young man in Mark 10? 1) Big Ask: “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” (v.17) 2) Bigger Tell: “You lack one thing.” (v.21) 3) Biggest Challenge: How? “Can you go through the eye of the needle?”(v.21, 25) My Answer: “For Heaven’s sake, let go and grab onto Jesus.”

Why? 1. We all suffer some sort of “paralysis” that we can’t always cure by ourselves. (v.3) 2. Friends go the extra mile if they really care. (v.4-5a) 3. a. Although impossible by others to do, Jesus can free us from our paralysis. (v.5b-11) b. And that’s worth shouting to the whole wide world: “This is Jesus Territory!” (v.12) Challenge: We Christ-followers have freedom in Christ. So go and bring a friend to Jesus who can help them too.
