What Happened to the Young Rich Man?

In Your Presence

A meditation preached in the Madawaska Valley at Camp Caribou for Boys, August 20, 2024.

Jesus invited the young rich man to follow him, but he turned around and left, sad. Here's Jesus' response.

Matthew 19:23-30: Jesus said to his disciples, ‘I tell you solemnly, it will be hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Yes, I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.’ When the disciples heard this they were astonished. ‘Who can be saved, then?’ they said. Jesus gazed at them. ‘For men’ he told them ‘this is impossible; for God everything is possible.’
