• We see that Jesus takes pleasure in that which is amiable in the creature as a creature—a principle of deep interest unfolded in this chapter—while still applying the touchstone morally to his heart. (“Mark 10” by J.N. Darby)
• He must love the natural uprightness that may be developed in the creature. But He must judge the true condition of man fully brought out, and the affections that rested on objects raised up by Satan, and the will that rejected and turned away from the manifestation of God that called him to forsake these vanities and follow Him, thus putting his heart morally to the proof. (“Mark 10” by J.N. Darby)
• It is striking to observe these two things following — the comparative severity of our Lord’s answer {v.18}, and the express assertion that He looked upon him and loved him {v.21}. The one showed how He dealt with amiable nature, intruding into what it knows not; the other...the Savior’s love for that which was sweet and attractive in human nature. (“Mark 10” by W. Kelly)
• Yet the one thing the young and ardent Jew lacked was, oh! how incomparably short of the path of Jesus both in life and death. (“Mark 10” by W. Kelly)
