2. Lessons from the Rich Young Ruler
Luke 18:18-23: We like to play armchair
quarterback, but how would you handle the
situation if you were in the man’s shoes?
V. 21: “All these things I have kept…”
The ruler was certain of his own ability to live
righteously, much like the Pharisee (v. 11-12).
Are we certain of our own ability to live
righteously?
What kind of disciple are you?

3. Lessons from the Rich Young Ruler
Do you think of Jesus as “good”?
 Luke 18:18: Ruler calls Jesus, “Good Teacher.”
 But Jesus wants him to know he is speaking to The
Good Teacher, not just the average religious leader.
 To the young man, Jesus’ words were not
commands, but rather suggestions.
 Our view of Jesus: Demonstrated by what we do,
not what we say.
We are guilty of hypocrisy if we call Him Lord, but
ignore His teaching.

4. Lessons from the Rich Young Ruler
Who or what is my god?
Matt. 19:20: “What do I still lack?”
God alone should be worshiped, obeyed, adored.
Young ruler: Trying to serve God and mammon
at the same time (Matt. 6:24).
Is there a part of your life that you are unwilling
to surrender to Jesus Christ?
Do not let anything get in the way of your service
to God.

5. Lessons from the Rich Young Ruler
What do you value, and how do you show it?
 Luke 18:22-23: Ruler valued his possessions
more than he did eternal life.
 Jesus was determining whether his treasure lay
with God or money (Matt. 6:19-21; Luke 16:13).
Do you value eternal life above everything else?
 Is there something we would refuse to give up,
even if Jesus asked us to?
 If you want to find out what you truly value, think
about how you spend your time.
