In Gospel of Luke 18:18–30, a rich ruler asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life, only to discover that following Christ requires more than moral achievement—it requires surrender. When Jesus tells him to sell all he has and follow Him, the man walks away sorrowful, revealing that his wealth had become his true master. This passage confronts us with a searching question: will we cling to what we cannot keep, or trust Jesus for the treasure that truly lasts?
