Yes
and said : No One is Good But God How then could he be moved in the right direction? What could deflect him from his preoccupation with merit? The response of Jesus could do that, if the young man would rightly hear it. That response, however, must have sounded initially as if it had no connection whatever with the rich man's inquiry. No doubt he was even taken aback when Jesus replied: Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God (Mark 10:18). But nothing could have been more to the point. It was precisely the issue on which this man needed to focus. He had addressed Jesus as "Good Teacher." No doubt it was glibly said no matter how respectfully it was intended. But was He really good? In the definitive sense of that word, He could not be "good" if He was a mere mortal man. The Old Testament bore witness to that fact (and Paul appealed to it!) when it affirmed, "There is none who does good, no, not one" (Ps. 14:3; cf. Rom. 3:12). Only God was good and that could mean only one thing. Jesus could not be good unless He was also God. The young man perceived Him to be a teacher, and such He was. But He was very much more than that! And until the rich young ruler could hear His voice as the voice of the Son of God, eternal life -whether here or hereafter- lay beyond his reach. But there was more. The young man himself was not good. Only God was good. But this perception also had not truly dawned on him, as his response to the Savior's next statement painfully shows. His concept of "good" was therefore precisely his problem. That concept clouded his perception of Jesus, and it clouded his perception of himself. Until these perceptions were corrected, he was very far from God's Kingdom indeed. from Zane Hodges' book, "The Rich Young Ruler"

and said : Many people sacrifice animals because they refuse to believe the words of John The Baptist'"Behold the Lamb of God" which takes away the sin of the world."It's impossible for the blood of bulls and goats (or any animal) to take away sins. I answered like in this manner because you used the word "sacrifice." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

and said : Funny how the LORD brings these issues to mind. His timing is perfect! As I type this my 93 year old beloved Father-In-Law, I mean Father-In-Grace is about to to step on the other side! Yes, I am sealed until the day of redemption but that doesn't mean that I am completely free of fear; but this song and Scripture sure helps my fears that crop up from time to time.The one song I can think of is one by Don Wyrtzen called "Finally Home." Here are the lyrics: Chorus 1 But just think of stepping on shore And finding it heaven Of touching a hand and finding it God's Of breathing new air and finding it celestial Of waking up in glory and finding it home Verse 1 When engulfed by the terror Of tempestuous sea Unknown waves before you roll At the end of doubt and peril is eternity Though fear and conflict seize your soul Verse 2 When surrounded by the blackness Of the darkest night O how lonely death can be At the end of this long tunnel Is a shining light For death is swallowed up in victory For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Easter Question: If God raised Jesus from the dead, and Jesus (who is God) raised Lazarus from the dead. Why do we not give Lazarus the same stature as Jesus?

jks answered
Because....
and said : Jesus resurrected Lazarus to manifest His Deity as the One who has the power to save them who come to him by faith in His shed blood on the cross for forgivness of sins. For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen by Cephas(Peter), then by the twelve. After that He was seen by over five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain to the present, but some have fallen asleep. Words Of the Apostle Paul to the church @ Corinth.John 11:25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” There is the key question on this post; do YOU believe this? John 11:25

and said : Hi Sister Jean, good afternoon; Excellant question!Thought I'd answer with a quotation from your 1st Pope; Peter " knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. So we SHOULD be worried if we're trying to get to Heaven by "doing the best we can." All our righteousness is like filthy rags in the sight of The Holy God. Jesus demonstrated his own love for the people He saved in that while they were sinners He died for them.
