One day a young ruler came to Jesus and fell on his knees before him. He said,
"Good teacher, what must I do to get eternal life?" Jesus told him to keep the
commandments. "Which ones?" the man asked. Jesus started quoting some of the
10 commandments; "Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not
give false testimony, honor your father and mother." Then he mentions a
commandment, not one of the 10 commandments, but one from the book of
Leviticus, "Love your neighbor as yourself." In Leviticus 19:18 the people
were told to not seek revenge, or to bear a grudge against one of their
people, but instead they were to love their neighbor as they loved themselves.
The young man said he had kept all these commands from the time he was a boy.
He had lived a good life. The Bible says that Jesus looked at him and loved
him, but Jesus looked into the man's heart and saw something that was keeping
him from becoming a follower. Jesus told him that he still lacked one thing;
he must sell the things he owned and give the money to the poor. Then he would
have treasure in heaven, and he could follow Jesus. The young man's face fell
and he sadly went away because he had great riches that he would not part
with. After the young man left, Jesus talked to his disciples about how hard
it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. "It is easier", he said,
"for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, but with God all things are
possible."
