There is a truth Christians do not wish to hear about, it is the truth that is encapsulated in a story about a Rich Young Man who would not get rid of his many possessions to follow Jesus. But this is more than just a story about greed or the distractions of wealth, it is about this entire world system and our service to it, rather than to Jesus. The physical world is the wealth and the possessions we will not part with, not even to follow Jesus.
