Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, Teacher,
what good thing must I do to get eternal
life? Why do you ask me about what is good?
Jesus replied. There is only one who is good. If
you want to enter life, obey the
commandments. Which ones? the man inquired.
Jesus replied, Do not murder, do not commit
adultery, do not steal, do not give false
testimony, honor your father and mother, and
love your neighbor as yourself. All these
I have kept, the young man said. What do I
still lack? Jesus answered, if you want to be
perfect, go, sell your possessions and give
to the poor, and you will have treasures in
heaven. then come follow me. When the young
man heard this, he went away sad, because he
had great wealth.
Matthew 1916-21

the gospel and offer Christ to sinful men and

this point to strongly.
