Luke 18:23
"When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”"
Key Reflection
This statement by Jesus underscores the priority of radical discipleship over material wealth. By commanding the rich man to sell his possessions and give to the poor, Jesus highlights that true treasure lies not in earthly riches but in heavenly rewards, challenging the individual to renounce worldly attachments for the sake of following Him fully.
