I'm sure we all know the story of the Yong Rich Man who asked Jesus how to inherit Eternal Life only to be told to sell his everything and come follow Jesus.
I couldn't help but contemplate the previous part where Jesus told the man to follow the commandments then the young man proudly proclaimed he did exactly that since he was a kid...
Now I couldn't help but feel that the man kinda overplayed himself, or maybe thinking he could get Eternal Life with his own strength and moral conviction. We all know none could get to the Lord by themselves and only through Jesus can we be saved. I wondered about the part where Jesus told the man to sell everything and give to the poor. That was just super impossible, for me, at least. I wonder if Jesus was indirectly telling that man that he couldn't be perfect by his own power and once he realized that, he should come to Jesus for salvation...
Do any of you think there is more meaning to that?
