WORD OF THE DAY:

[Psalm 89:9,11]

9. You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves arise, You still them. 

11. The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours; the world and all that is in it, You have founded them. 

MESSAGE OF THE DAY:

THE RICH YOUNG MAN:

1. English - (Amplified Bible Version). 

[Luke 18:18-27]

18. And a certain ruler asked Him: "Good Teacher, (You Who are essentially and perfectly, morally good), what shall I do to inherit eternal life (to partake of eternal salvation in the Messiah's kingdom)?"

19. Jesus said to him: "Why do you call Me (essentially and perfectly, morally good? No one is (essentially and perfectly, morally) good except God only.  

20. "You know the commandments: 'Do nog commit adultery, do not kill, do not steal, do not witness falsely, honour your father and your mother.'"

21. And he replied: "All these I have kept from my youth."

22. And when Jesus heard it, He said to him: "One thing you still lack. Sell everything that you have and divide (the money) among the poor, and you will have (rich) treasure in heaven; and come back (and) follow Me, (become My disciple, join My party, and accompany Me.)

23. But when he heard this, he became distressed and very sorrowful, for he was rich -- exceedingly so. 

24. Jesus, observing him, said: "How difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!

25. "For it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle's eye than (for) a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

26. And those who heard it said: "Then who can be saved?"

27. But He said: "What is impossible with men, is possible with God."

DIE RYK JONGMAN:

2. Afrikaans - (Ou Afrikaanse Vertaling)

[Lukas 18:18-27]

18. En 'n sekere owerste vra Hom en sê: "Goeie Meester, wat moet ek doen om die ewige lewe te beërwe?"

19. En Jesus antwoord hom: "Waarom noem jy My goed? Niemand is goed nie, behalwe Een, naamlik God. 

20. "Jy ken die gebooie: 'Jy mag nie egbreek nie; jy mag nie steel nie; jy mag geen valse getuienis gee nie; eer jou vader en jou moeder.'"

21. En hy sê: "Al hierdie dinge onderhou ek van my jeug af."

22. En toe Jesus dit hoor, antwoord Hy hom: "Nog een ding ontbreek jou -- verkoop alles wat jy het, en verdeel dit onder die armes, en jy sal 'n skat in die hemel hê; kom dan hier, volg My." 

23. Toe hy dit hoor, het hy diep bedroef geword, want hy was baie ryk. 

24. En toe Jesus sien dat hy diep bedroef geword het, sê Hy: "Hoe beswaarlik sal hulle wat goed besit, in die koninkryk van God ingaan. 

25. "Want dit is makliker vir 'n kameel om deur die oog van 'n naald te gaan, as vir 'n ryk man om in die koninkryk van God in te gaan."

26. Daarop sê die wat dit gehoor het: "Wie kan dan gered word."

27. Maar Hy antwoord: "Die dinge wat by mense onmoontlik is, is by God moontlik."

17. And there was handed to Him (the roll of) the book of the prophet Isaiah. He opened (unrolled) the book and found the place where it was written:

18. "The Spirit of the Lord (is) upon Me, because He Has anointed Me (the Anointed One, the Messiah) to preach the good news (the Gospel) to the poor; He Has sent Me to announce release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to send forth as delivered those who are oppressed (who are downtrodden, bruised, crushed, and broken down by calamity.)

19. "To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord (the day when salvation and the free favours of God profusely abound.)

20. Then He rolled up the book and gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were gazing (attentively) at Him. 

21. And He began to speak to them: "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled while you are present and hearing."

22. And all spoke well of Him and marveled at the words of grace that came forth from His mouth; and they said: "Is not this Joseph's Son?"

19. 'Om aan gevangenis vrylating te verkondig en aan die blindes herstel van gesig; om die wat gebroke is, in vryheid weg te stuur; om die aangename jaar van die Here aan te kondig.'

20. En nadat Hy die boek toegemaak het, en aan die dienaar teruggegee het, gaan Hy sit, en die oë van almal in die sinagoge was op Hom gevestig. 

21. Toe begin Hy vir hulle te sê: "Vandag is hierdie Skrif in julle ore vervul."

22. En almal het vir Hom getuienis gegee en was verwonderd oor die aangename woorde wat uit Sy mond kom; en hulle sê: "Is Hy nie die Seun van Josef nie?" 

23. En Hy antwoord hulle: "Julle sal My ongetwyfeld hierdie spreekwoord toevoeg: 'Geneesheer, genees Uself! Alles wat ons hoor wat in Kapérnaüm gebeur het, doen dit hier in U vaderstad ook!"
