Commentaries

Jesus emphasizes a key idea: wealth can be a major obstacle to entering the kingdom. This Gospel passage is probably one of the most influential in Christian history. Giving up material possessions when they hinder accepting the kingdom and following Jesus is not just advice; it is a essential requirement. You cannot serve both God and money.
