Mark 12:34 - "When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, 'You are not far from the kingdom of God.' After that no one dared to ask him any question."

"I've got it!" The lightbulb truly came on for the scribe that appears in this story - after all, to be told by Jesus that you are not far from the kingdom of God - can you even imagine? It seems like it was often a rarity for someone to grasp Jesus' teachings...or at least to grasp them to this extent.

Luke 12:34 - "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."
