Prayer: Lord, help us live in the good of resurrection. Help us to join with the witnesses of the resurrection in spreading the good news of Christ who died, was buried and rose on the third day. Help us to serve our Risen Lord!
Reading: Mark 10: 17-31 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: In this story, you have to really remember some context. Jesus hadn’t been crucified yet. We have the advantage of reading his and the disciples’ words with the knowledge of the crucifixion and resurrection. But that was not part of the disciples’ reality. So, yes, it’s hard to get to heaven when you have money, possessions, etc. But not if you know God, through Jesus Christ. Christ did the great deed of dying for us. Now we can go to heaven and spend eternity with God. Isn’t that good news? --Chad Hershberger
