THE RICH MAN
A Jewish leader asked
Jesus, “Good Teacher, what must I do to receive eternal life?”
“Why do you call me
good?” Jesus asked him. “No one is good
except God alone. You know the
commandments: Do not commit adultery; do
not commit murder; do not steal; do not accuse anyone falsely; respect your
father and your mother.”
The man replied, “Ever
since I was young, I have obeyed all these commandments.”
When Jesus heard this, He
said to him, “There is still one more thing you need to do. Sell all you have and give the money to the
poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow Me.” But when the man heard this, he became very
sad, because he was very rich.
Jesus saw that he was sad
and said, “How hard it is for rich people to enter the Kingdom of God! It is much harder for a rich person to enter
the Kingdom of God, than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.
The people who heard Him
asked, “Who, then, can be saved?”
Jesus answered, “What is
impossible for man is possible for God.”
(Luke 18 : 18 –
27)
