What do you observe in this?

Question

What do you observe in these verses? Any contrasts, comparasions, illustrations... etc? (Matthew 19:16-30)

Answer 1

I actually just did a sermon on these verses(I'm a Pastor). And this is how I interpret this story and how many Christian scholars do.

When the man asked, "What must I do to be saved?" Jesus answered him with a few of the 10 Commandments, the ones that had to do with human relationships. The man replied that he had kept all of these since he was a little child. Jesus then told the man to sell everything he had, give it to the poor, and to follow him. The man walked away because he was very rich and did not want to give that up.
Jesus wasn't saying that in order to get into Heaven you have to sell everything that you own and give it to the poor. He was trying to prove a point to this man, don't let anything become more important to you than your relationship with God. And that man had let material possessions become more important to him than God. So even though he was a good man that treated the people around him well, he had broken the very first commandment; Have no other gods besides Me. Money had taken the place of God for him.

Answer 2
