As we read Mark 10: 17-22 we are told of a rich young ruler who came to Jesus and asked what he should do to have eternal life. Jesus told the young man that he must obey the commandments. When the rich young man said that he had been obedient to the laws of God. Jesus asked the man he needed to do one more thing. He needed to sell all he had and give to the poor and follow Jesus.
The rich young ruler was very sad. He did not want to do what Jesus told him to do. He loved his riches more than he loved God. The account of the rich young man can give pause even to the faithful to ponder, would I be willing to give up all my possession?
Con amor,
Vero
