Entry Into The Kingdom Of God / Mark 10:17–31

While many people approached Jesus to test him, one man came to Jesus with a sincere and heart-felt question, ‘what must I do to inherit eternal life?’ The desire to live with God in his forever kingdom is something that this man, and most people since him, have wanted clarity on. How does one enter a relationship with God? How can we know with certainty that we will live forever with God in his kingdom? Jesus answers this man, but in doing so surprises both the questioner and his own disciples.
