A wealthy young man walked up to Jesus and asked the ultimate question: "What must I do to get eternal life?" Jesus' answer left everyone stunned — including the disciples. It wasn't about keeping the rules. It was about who sits on the throne of your life.

In this episode of the "Jesus the Mystery" series, Dave Scherrer unpacks Matthew 19:16-30 — the story of the rich young ruler. Jesus takes a passing conversation and turns it into an eternal life lesson about wealth, salvation, and the upside-down order of the Kingdom. The world says rich equals blessed. Jesus says the first will be last. And then He drops this: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

The disciples wanted to know who would hold the most power in Jesus' Kingdom. His answer? He called over a child and placed them right in the middle of the argument. In this episode, Dave Scherrer continues the "Jesus the Mystery" series by unpacking Matthew 18:1-5 — where Jesus completely redefines greatness. The Kingdom doesn't run on ambition and position. It runs on humility and sacrifice. And that question still falls on us today. Part of the Kingdom Offerings podcast from 100 Fold Ministries.
