Jesus Knows

 1. Jesus shows the ruler that he does not know himself. He reveals that he is comparing himself with others but not comparing himself with God. The ten commandments only reveal that we all fall short of God’s righteousness. 

 2. The man did not understand who Jesus the Eternal King of Kings is, so man was not willing to sell all he had and followed Jesus. Not everyone loves God with all your heart in this life and has ever loved their neighbors as themselves. These two sins multiplied throughout a life would amount to thousand sins and no one can get into heaven without Jesus.

Matthew Chapter 6:1
      Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

Luke 18:18-34
       A ruler questioned Jesus, saying; “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? 19 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. 

20 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 

21 And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 

22 Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.

 23 And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 

24 And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!For those who heard Jesus said, 

26 And so who can be saved? Jesus said, 

27 The things that are impossible with people are possible with God. Then Peter said, 28 Lo, we have left all and followed You.

 Jesus said to them, 29 Verily I say unto you, there is no man that has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children for the sake of the kingdom of God’s sake, 30 Who shall not receive manifold more in this present time, and in the world to come life everlasting. 

 31 Then he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all things that are written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished. 32 For he shall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and spitefully entreated, and spitted on:33 And they shall scourge him, and put him to death: and the third day he shall rise again. 34 And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken. The disciples understood none of these things and the meaning of Jesus statement was hidden from them and did not comprehend the things that were said.

 Philippians 3:7-21
      But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ. 

8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: 

10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; 

11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead. 

12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 

13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 

14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. 

15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you. 

16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing. 

17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. 

18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ:

19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) 

20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 

21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
