HE BECAME VERY SORROWFUL
“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 18:24 (NKJV)
READ: Genesis 22:1–19; Matthew 19:16–29; Luke 18:18–30
It was not the riches of the rich or wealthy people that would hinder them from making heaven but their inability to part or forsake whatever their wealth or richness is and embrace what God says.
In the passage, the young rich ruler said he had been faithful in keeping and observing the law (Luke 18:21–23), but it was difficult for him to give out all he had and turn to become Jesus’ disciple.
God always makes a demand on what will be sacrificial to you — what you will feel much when you part with it. Abraham obeyed when asked for Isaac, and God established a covenant with him. If you are ready and willing to do anything to obey and please Him, there is nothing He would not do to reward you.
What are you reluctant to forsake to be committed to God and His kingdom?
