This young rich gentleman who came to Jesus said unto Him, “Good Master what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?
It would be known as an encounter between Christ and a hopeful young gentleman on a serious errand. This young man had great possessions, was a ruler, a magistrate and a justice of peace in his country with abilities beyond his youthful years. Nowhere in scriptures do we read of any that addressed themselves to that Holy Man of God and Master in Israel more respectfully than this young man.
His question to Christ is one that we need to ask today. What shall we do, that we may have eternal life? What shall we do, to be forever happy, happy in another world? For this world we presently live in falls short of providing everlasting happiness. As the songwriter Sidney Cox reminds us: “By the pathway of duty flows the River of God’s Grace.” He writes:It is called the path of duty and it leads to heaven’s gate.From the river of God’s mercy that is flowing close beside.
Christ makes it quite clear that the way of entering into eternal life is by obedience. Christ who is our Life is the Way to the Father; he is the only Way but duty and the obedience of faith, are the way to Christ. There is an entrance into life hereafter, at death, at the great day, a complete entrance, and those only shall enter into life, that do their duty; it is the diligent faithful servant then that shall enter into the joy of his or her Lord and that joy will be their eternal life.
