Luke 18&19 record for us the encounter different rich men had with Jesus. Money just happened to be the "thing" they needed to give up to truly follow Jesus. What is it that you must give up to truly follow Jesus? Do you have more to gain or more to lose?
Do you take this story to be literal? If literal, that would mean that Jesus is saying that is a sin to be rich. Why didn't Jesus answer the rich mans question, the same way he answered Nicodemus. Why didn't he tell him, you must be born again. Is like Jesus is telling him that in order to have eternal life, u must sell ur literal possessions. Please don't preach, just give me a logical answer. Thank you.
