The Rich and the Kingdom of God

Overview

A rich ruler asked Jesus, Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? Jesus answered, You know the commandments: You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, honor your father and mother He said, All these I have kept since I was a boy. Jesus said to him, you still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. (Luke 18:18-22)
