Read Luke 18 here (text coming …) or at Bible Gateway.
Luke 18:15-43 Chiastic Structure:
The structure forces the elements together. I saw that the B pairs paired, but I couldn’t figure it out at first. I spent some time rearranging things, LOL, until I realised that the structure itself answers the rich young ruler. “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Well, you can try to obey the commandments; you can try to do other things, but at the end of the examination of these things, “Who then can be saved?” Precisely, thus the answer to the rich young ruler’s question: only the death and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua can save a person. It has to be by grace, through faith.
