1 part Complete Many people know the story of the rich young man who approached Jesus and boldly asked, “What must I do to get eternal life.” Many of those same people may remember that Jesus responded, “If you want to be perfect, go sell your possessions, give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Matthew 19:13. What most of those people don't know, as well read and hermeneutically educated as they may be, is that this young man's name was Clint.
The thought of selling all he owned was intimidating: Clint's family owned much of Jerusalem. The thought of giving it to the poor seemed ridiculous. “The Gospel of Clint” follows Clint's journey from skeptic to soul-saver as he unwittingly follows Jesus's oft-silent prompts and guidance. Clint visits the early church, a bunch of fun-loving-love-touting hippies, he ventures through the seedy underbelly of Jerusalem that many of the city's poor call home, and he ultimately travels through his own heart to his true self.
