Luke 18:18-27 "The Greatest Gift of All"

So, this ruler…and we are not sure what he is a ruler of…perhaps he is the ruler of a local synagogue…comes and kneels before Jesus.
And he asks a very important question, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
There are two aspects of this question that we need to dig into.
1. What must I do…indicating that there is something he could do…to inherit eternal life.
2. Good Teacher…implying there are those who are good enough to inherit eternal life…
Jesus knows, just by hearing this man’s question…what he believes.
And that is still true today…you can ascertain what someone believes…just by the questions they ask.
And by his question, we see that he believes there is something he can do…that if he can be good enough…he will have eternal life.
