righteousness to some extent, and
thought that his daily Walk would
nut him aright for inheriting eternal
life. The golden text answers the
question for the rich young ruler,
“Come take up your cross nnd 1 follow
me.” The man might have thought
that he was doing this, but Jesus
dissuades his mind of these thoughts.
This man, first of all, had a mis
conception of Jesus. He regarded
Him as a great teacher and as
good man. He did not accept Jesus
as the son of 'God. Jesus proceeds at
once to set him right on heavenly
things. Reganding the deity of
Christ there is two groups. One
group holds that Jesus is no more
divine than any other man. They
hold that the degree of divinity is a
matter of attainment and personal
character development. This class
says that Jesus himself disclaimed
his own divinity by repudiating good
within himsellf. The second group,
which we hope is largely ill the ma
jority, 'believe that Jesus is the son
of 'God and that no other has been or
is now the son of God. So this belief
places Christ on a pinacle to himself
Jesus .proved his divinity by his
words, works and sinless walk among
men. Lets notice .what Jesus himself
said then we can draw our own con
clusions concerning his divinity.
These words will prove it beyond and
argument.
The rich young ruler asks Jesus,
"Good Master, what must I do to in
herit eternal life.” Jesus replied' with
a question, “why callest thou me
good? "There is none good but one,
that is good.” Jesus in this reply is
merely pointing out to the young
ruler the inconsistency in his calling
him and at the same time denying
or refusing to accept his deity. The
argument is that God is good' and
only Cod. The real meaning then of
what Jesus say, “if I am not God 1 1
am not good." From this statement
we have revealed to us that Jesus is
either God revealed in the flesh
else he is the greatest imposter the
world has ever known. There is no
doubt whatever that Jesus claimed
to be God'. This is proven in the ques
tion he asked Philip, “hast thou not
known me Philip? He that hath seen
me hath seen the Father, and how
sayest thou show us the Father.”

Jesus was telling them toy this
question, “I am. verily God in the
flesh.’’ Again he says, “I and my
Father are one.” Again, “All things
that the Father hath are mine.”
We could go on offering more
proofs of the divinity tout from what
has been said we must conclude
Jesus is God just as he claimed to
toe. The assumption that Jesus meant
bo disclaim goodness within himself
is disputed by his whole life and
teachings.
Life Revealed
The very question that the young
ruler asked reveals his false concep
tion of spiritual life. He was wliat
\ve might can a so-styled morally
righteous man. He sought spiritual
satisfaction that he had always
obeyed the law. When he came to
Jesus, Jesus readily pointed out to
him wherein he was wrong. That he
had relied upon the law for life, and
had rejected God who was both law
and life. Jesus quotes the second
table of the Ten Commandments to *
the young man. He, (the young man)
quickly- and with a show of pride, as
serted that he had kept all of these
commandments from his youth up.
Jesus does not deny the claims of
the young man, but tells him that he
has depended upon the right rela
tionship to man hoping by this to
gain eternal life and leave God en
tirely out of the question. Jesus is
now telling the young man a message
that applies all the way down thru
the ages that spiritual or eternal
life depends upon man’s right rela
tionship with God.
Then comes the great command
that has reverberated down tnru the
ages and means just as much today
as it did' the day it was uttered,
"come follow me.”
These few word's hold a world ol
meaning for us. When we fu.fill this
command we will be in proper con
dition then to become heirs of oternal
life. When we follow Jesus it may
mean that we will at times have
crosses to bear. To follow Jesus here
does not mean that all is flowery
beds of ease. The glorious part of
following Jesus in the world is that
in so doing we are fitting ourselves
for an eternity of eternal life that
will be all happiness and flowery beds
of ease. The young man came to
Jesus unsatisfied and went away
sorrowful. He wanted' his own way in
life, He had learned through bitter
experience that through the work of
the law no soul could' be satisfied.
Jesus Tells the Meaning
Of the Incident
After all was said about the rich
young ruler it all comes down to
this that he was not willing to pay
the required price to obtain eternal
life. Jesus told him to sell what he
had and take up his cross 1 and follow
Jesus. Does that mean then that a
rich man cannot go to heaven? Cer
tainly it does not. A rich man can
be a true and tried Christian. It is
when riches become master of a man
that it keeps him from heaven, but
when he is master of riches he can
turn it not for his own' good' tout for
the good of those about him, When
man makes riches his God then it is
that he can have no place in God's
heavenly home. It is a worthy under
taking for a man to make money
honestly. Get all you can if you get
it honestly would be a good motto,
but in obtaining it be sure that we
come by it in the way that Jesus
would have us gain it. Jesus does
not mean that to be his follower we
must be devoid of this world’s goods.
The example of the rich young ruler
being requested to dispose of his
riches teaches us that anything or
any habit we have that retards us in
doing the Master’s will must toe dis
pensed with. The golden text very
fittingly answers this question pf
whether a Christian 1 can own this
world's goods, “come, take up the
cross and follow me.” Obtaining a
tortune may be carried on by one
who follows closely the teachings ot
JesusWhen this is the case a fortuno
can be handled for the glory of God
und the eternal glory of the one who
the world calls rich. Possession of
this world puts upon us greater re
sponsibilities. The greater our tal
ent the more we will have to answer
for in exercising these talents. A
rich man can, if he will, lay up for
himself and his posterity a rich heri
tage. Abraham was a man after
God's own heart and he was what
the world then called a rich man so
far as worldly goods were concerned.
Dives was not sent away into eternal
punishment because he was a rich
man, tout because he did 1 not do the
will of God, and let his riches toe his
master instead of his toeing master
of his riches. Fortunes in this world
are a necessity for the reason that
many people would suffer for the
actual necessities of life were it not
for those more fortunate who own
goodly amounts of this world's
goods and can guide these less for-
tunates ini securing the necessities
of life. Many men will not come up
to what is required of them if they
do not amass a fortune because they
are possessed with the talents to
amass wealth.
in the final analysis we are not go
ing to be held responsible for what
we own when we come to the end of
our earthly pilgrimage but we will
be held to a strict accountability for
the manner in which we have used
our talents.
