Jesus answered him

Matthew 19:21, 22 amp. "Jesus answered him, If you would be perfect [that is, have that spiritual maturity which accompanies self-sacrificing character], go and sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; and come, be My disciple [side with My party and follow Me].  But when the young man heard this, he went away sad (grieved and in much distress), for he had great possessions". So much can side track an individual from living a life in Christ. One can have all the needs of this world and not have Jesus in their heart. They can have all the wealth in the world, but without Jesus that wealth is just temporal, without a cause. One can proclaim Christ as their Savior, but with worldly possessions in the way and in control of their heart, it is quite useless. There will not be a spiritual maturity or a growth in the individual. They will run after the wealth and prosperity of the world. Has the Lord asked you to follow Him with your whole heart, and to become one of His disciples? Remember Jesus said " With men this is impossible;  but with God all things are possible". Keep your heart stayed upon Jesus. Praise God.
