Jesus asked a wealthy young man to sell everything he has, give it to the poor, and then come and follow him.
Jesus loved that man, but the man turned his back on Jesus and he returned sadly to his comfortable home.
As Jesus and the disciples watched in amazement as the man leaves, Jesus said something even more amazing!
As far as the disciples, or anyone in their society, were concerned, if anyone deserved to be rewarded with eternal life it was the rich young man that they saw leave the presence of the Master.
