Stormblade99
WENT AWAY SAD
New Testament perspective:Knowing the hearts and minds of men, Jesus knew that the rich young man had a hurdle to overcome; he was greedy. Therefore, Jesus did more than just "invite the man to follow Him:""You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me." But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich. And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, "How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!" (Luke 18:22-24 - NKJV)
