Grieved by the Gospel

This is the ideal evangelism encounter, the one we all dream of! A young man runs to Jesus begging to be saved. Instead of turning into a church member, the Rich Young Ruler turns away... Here's what happened when the "Religion of Works" met the "Gospel of Grace": i.) the religion of "I can!" (v.7); ii.) the reality of "No, you can't!" (vv.18-21); iii.) the response of "I just won't..." (v.22).
