Mark 10

Many people approach God with the wrong questions, focusing on what they can get away with or what they must do to earn salvation. In Mark 10, both the Pharisees and the rich young ruler made this mistake, treating their relationship with God as a transaction rather than pursuing genuine intimacy. Jesus redirected them to God's original design and calling. Instead of asking rule-based questions, we should focus on what God is calling us to. When we fix our eyes on Jesus rather than on regulations, we discover the transformative power of relationship over transaction.
