In Matthew 19:16-30, a rich young man approaches Jesus, asking, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" Jesus tells him to keep the commandments, listing several key ones. The young man claims he has kept all these and asks what he still lacks. Jesus responds, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Saddened by this answer, the man leaves because he has great wealth. Jesus then explains to His disciples the difficulty for the rich to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, using the metaphor of a camel and the eye of a needle. When asked who can be saved, Jesus assures them that with God, all things are possible. This passage teaches that material wealth can be an obstacle to spiritual fulfillment and emphasizes the value of wholeheartedly following Jesus.
