Context

The Rich Young Man

²¹Jesus looked at him, loved him, and said to him, “There is one thing you lack: Go, sell everything you own and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me. ”²²But the man was saddened by these words and went away in sorrow, because he had great wealth.

Summary

In Mark 10:22, a rich young ruler approaches Jesus seeking eternal life. However, when Jesus tells him to sell all his possessions and give to the poor, the young man walks away saddened because he values his wealth more than following Jesus. This verse highlights the challenge of surrendering everything to follow Christ and the importance of not letting material possessions hinder our relationship with God. It serves as a reminder that true discipleship requires a willingness to let go of anything that may come between us and God, ultimately trusting in His provision and guidance.

Adam Clarke Bible Commentary

And he was sad at that saying - This young man had perhaps been a saint, and an eminent apostle, had he been poor! From this, and a multitude of other cases, we may learn that it is oftentimes a misfortune to be rich: but who is aware of this? - and who believes it?
