Mark 10:28
We could be really hard on Peter here, but his question was not as out of line as we might think. Jesus’ answer does not contain any correction, and the question was very connected to the context of this incident. So, really, it was good thinking on Peter’s part. Obviously, there may have been selfish reasons to ask it. But, I don’t really think that was the primary motive. Peter seems to be truly curious about the matter in light of Jesus’ teaching in regards to the rich.
Heavenly Father, thank you for answering our questions. It is easy to lose patience with those who are constantly asking questions. But, you never do. You guide us to the truth if we want it. You give us wisdom to understand things if we ask for it. How nice! We could never thank you enough. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
