Isaiah 12

What we do comes out of who we are.
Every time we read from the Bible we interpret through our background.

He has created us anew in Christ.
The Rich Young Man.

'A Ruler'
vs 17 - 19
The Commandments.

How do we interpret the interaction between the young man and Jesus?
We know what it says, but what does it mean, particularly in light of the whole of Scripture?
True inner transformation.
Young man, I'm about to teach you not just what to do, but who to know. Where do your affections lie?
Delight in God. Your desires will align with His.
What you do flows out of who you are.
Remember.
