The Lord Jesus often had multitudes around Him because of His words and His wonderful works. His words were usually gracious, but sometimes they were of judgment and of things the people didn’t want to obey. When the Pharisees asked about divorce, He told them that God joined together a man and his wife, and man was not to put them asunder. When they heard this, they said it was not good to marry but rather to live as a eunuch. However, this is not God’s purpose for most people.
The Lord Jesus would have us to trust and follow Him while we are young, but in this chapter we read of someone who loved his riches more than following the Lord. We hope he realized what a poor decision he made that day and had a change of heart. Those who follow the Lord in this world will someday share in the glory of heaven.
