CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Matthew 19

Jesus teaches on marriage and divorce, blesses little children, and confronts a rich young man who asks about eternal life. The man’s attachment to possessions exposes his inability to meet the standard he assumes he can fulfill. Jesus then explains the danger of riches, the impossibility of salvation by human ability, and the future reward of sacrificial discipleship.
