The Rich Young Ruler (Mark 10:13–22) — A Sermon by R.C. Sproul

Summary

The sermon centers on the Gospel narrative of Jesus and the rich young ruler, emphasizing the necessity of receiving the kingdom of God with childlike humility. It highlights Jesus' teachings on the commandments and the ruler's inability to follow Him due to his possessions, connecting this to the Reformation's restoration of the pure gospel of justification by faith alone. The practical takeaway is that salvation comes not from adherence to works, but from surrendering to Christ and following Him.
