Book ◦ Chapter

But the man was saddened by these words
The man in question is often referred to as the "rich young ruler," a term derived from the synoptic Gospels. His sadness reflects a deep internal conflict between his desire for eternal life and his attachment to material wealth. This moment highlights the challenge of discipleship and the cost of following Jesus. The words of Jesus, which called for the man to sell all he had and give to the poor, were a test of his willingness to prioritize spiritual over material wealth. This sadness can be seen as a moment of conviction, where the man realizes the depth of his attachment to earthly possessions.

and went away in sorrow
The man's departure in sorrow indicates a decision to cling to his wealth rather than follow Jesus. This reaction underscores the difficulty many face when confronted with the demands of true discipleship. The sorrowful departure is a poignant reminder of the cost of discipleship and the challenge of prioritizing the kingdom of God over personal wealth. This moment is illustrative of the broader biblical theme that one cannot serve both God and money, as seen inMatthew 6:24.

because he had great wealth
The man's great wealth is central to the narrative, emphasizing the difficulty for those with riches to enter the kingdom of God. In the cultural context of the time, wealth was often seen as a sign of God's favor, making Jesus' teaching particularly radical. The wealth itself is not condemned, but the man's attachment to it is. This passage connects to the broader biblical theme of the dangers of wealth, as seen in1 Timothy 6:10, which warns that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. The man's inability to part with his wealth serves as a cautionary tale about the spiritual peril of materialism.

Teaching Points

The Challenge of Wealth
Wealth can be a significant barrier to spiritual growth and entering the kingdom of God. It often leads to misplaced priorities and reliance on material possessions rather than God.

True Discipleship
Following Jesus requires total commitment and willingness to surrender all, including wealth and personal ambitions, for the sake of the kingdom.

The Cost of Eternal Life
Eternal life is a gift, but it requires a heart fully devoted to God. This may mean giving up earthly treasures to gain heavenly ones.

Sorrow and Repentance
The rich young man's sorrow highlights the internal struggle between earthly attachments and spiritual aspirations. True repentance involves a change of heart and action.

The Call to Radical Obedience
Jesus calls His followers to radical obedience, which may involve difficult choices and sacrifices, but promises eternal rewards.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(22)And he was sad at that saying.--Better,He frowned. The word is the same as that translated "lowering" inMatthew 16:3.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 22. -But his countenance fell at the saying (ὁ δὲ στυγνάσας ἐπὶ τῳ λόγῳ). The same word is used in St. Matthew (Matthew 16:3) for a "lowering," "frowning sky" (οὐρανὸς στυγνάζων). And he went away sorrowful (ἀπῆλθε λυπούμενος)-literally, for he was one that had (η΅ν γὰρ ἔχων)-great possessions.
