The Pharisees continue to test Jesus to see what his conclusions will be concerning various topics of the law. Today that ask about divorce, and Jesus asserts that divorce was permitted under the Law only because of the hardness of man’s heart. Next, Jesus tells his disciples to let children come to him, for one can never enter the kingdom unless he does so like a child. Here in the 10th chapter of Mark’s gospel we also find a lengthy account of the rich, young ruler who cannot fathom leaving his riches behind to follow Jesus. This account is followed by teaching from Jesus about the nature of riches and the kingdom. We’ll also read Christ’s 3rd prediction of his death, the glory of service, and the faith of a blind man.
