The Radical Truth Glenn Meldrum

We are now at the point where Christ's ministry changes from ministering to the people outside of Jerusalem to the final days of His life where He ministers in Jerusalem. The two events we will examine are His triumphal entry into Jerusalem and His cleansing of the Temple by driving out those who were getting rich off the faith by exploiting the people. This is a good lesson.

We find Jesus still in the home of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector. Zac had repented of his sin and vowed to give half of his wealth to the poor. After this Jesus gave The Parable of the Ten Minas, which is what we will study in this lesson. This parable contains some important truths that are essential to all those who want to make heaven their eternal home.

The first account in Luke chapter 19 is about the conversion of Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector. In this true story we see clear evidence that salvation broke into his life by the repentance that was clearly demonstrated. This is the story of the rich man who said "Yes" to Jesus.

This lesson begins by looking at what Jesus said to the apostles about what would happen to Him when He went to Jerusalem. The second half of this study focuses upon Bart, a blind beggar that Jesus healed. There are some very valuable truths in this account that will surely be a blessing to you.

We will finish studying in this lesson the account of Jesus talking to a rich, young ruler. We will touch on some sensitive points that are important to most everyone. This is a good lesson that could help you walk a little nearer to Jesus.

This lesson begins with Jesus blessing some babies and little children. This in turn caused the Lord to do some teaching on the absolute necessity to be like little children if we want to enter the Kingdom of God. After this account we will begin digging into the true story of a rich young ruler that sought after Jesus because he wanted to know how to inherit the Kingdom of God. This is a great lesson.
