The Bible story

A man came running, kneeled to Jesus and asked, "Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?" Jesus beholding him loved him and said, "One thing thou lackest": sell whatsoever thou hast, give to the poor, and "come, take up the cross, and follow me." The man went away grieved, "for he had great possessions," and Jesus taught that "with God all things are possible." Read the whole story in Mark 10:17–27 (KJV).

Memory verse: "And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible." (Mark 10:27, KJV). It is printed on every level.
