What is good? 
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 
 
17 “And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" 
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 
 
18 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone. 
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 
 
19 You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor your father and mother.’” 
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 
 
20 And he said to him, “Teacher, all these I have kept from my youth.” 
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 
 
21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 
‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:17-22‬ ‭ESV‬‬ 
 
22 Disheartened by the saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

 - the actions of Jesus 

13 Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

14 Who knows? He may turn and relent and leave behind a blessing—grain offerings and drink offerings for the Lord your God.

 - The Visit

15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly.
