Running to Jesus
he knelt: For life
eternal,
tell me what to do?
Jesus answered him;
You should know
what God commands;
do these things
and live.
Teacher, since my
youth
I have kept the laws
of God.
Jesus looked with
love.
One thing is
lacking:
Go, sell what you
own, and give
it all to the
poor.
Then come, follow
me,
your wealth will
be in heaven;
you will know
true life.
The man was
dismayed;
his possessions were
many,
he could not let go.
How hard it will
be
for the wealthy
to enter
the kingdom of
God..
Camels will pass
through
a needle’s eye
easier.
The rich will
struggle.
Who then can be
saved?
Mortals cannot
achieve it,
God makes it
happen.
You who have left
home
to tread the
kingdom’s pathways
will be rewarded.
