Compare all
20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have akept from my youth. What do I still lack?”  
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, ago, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”  
22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

With God All Things Are Possible

23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that ait is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.  
24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but awith God all things are possible.”  
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him, “See, awe have left all and followed You. Therefore what shall we have?”  
28 So Jesus said to them, “Assuredly I say to you, that in the regeneration, when the Son of Man sits on the throne of His glory, ayou who have followed Me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.  
29 aAnd everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother1 or wife or children or lands, for My name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and inherit eternal life.  
30 aBut many who are first will be last, and the last first.

Matthew 19:22

Matthew 19:22 He went away sorrowful. He would like to be a disciple of Christ, and an heir of life, but was not ready to pay such a price. The Lord had struck his difficulty, his besetting sin, his ruling passion. This man was required to use his wealth for God and for man; so are we to use ours. There is just one difference; he was commanded to sell and give away; we are required to turn all over to Christ and to hold it as it his stewards.
