LUKE 18:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.”
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, you still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me — one thing you lack: the single requirement beyond all the commandments. Sell everything and give to the poor: the specific, personal requirement. Treasure in heaven: the alternative investment. Come, follow me: the call to discipleship that will cost the ruler everything.
