Conversations w/Jesus: The Rich Young Ruler

In this week's "Conversation with Jesus," a rich, young ruler asks
Jesus what he needs to do to inherit eternal life. On first glance
Jesus' answer may appear to be a denial of his own divinity, a
declaration of salvation by works, and a requirement of absolute
poverty for his followers. When we look closer, though, we see that
Jesus is doing none of these things. Rather, he is challenging this
man to recognize the impossibility of saving himself, and to stop
looking to his wealth for salvation.
