Good Teacher, What Must I Do? (Luke 18:18-30)
About this episode
The episode explores the encounter between Jesus and a rich young ruler, questioning the true nature of wealth and spiritual need.
On the heels of Jesus allowing noisy, crying children to have prime seating when he speaks to the crowds - much to his disciples chagrin - he seemingly meets one who would be a sterling example of his kingdom's target audience: a rich young ruler inquiring about the law of Moses. But is he, truly, inquiring? Does he hold as much true wealth as the disciples think? And, is it possible his earthly success has blinded him to his eternal need? Tune in and hear the answers to these questions from the "Good Teacher" (and so much, more), Jesus himself.
