Reaching the Kingdom of God in The Rich Young Man

A wealthy young man who is in contact with the kingdom of God is a story about the young man trying to reach the kingdom of God. Young people ask Jesus what is necessary to get eternal life. Jesus was told to keep the commandments. They will not be killed You will not be killed, you can not commit adultery, you steal, you carry a fake witness, neither you nor should you deceive your father and your mother Absent. As a kind person, young people said they actually followed these laws since they were young.

After reacting to the wealthy young ruler of Jesus and his amazing comments about the 12th century, the camel passed through the eye of the needle into the Kingdom of God rather than the rich. "Jesus answered," This is impossible for people, but for God everything is possible. "Peter characteristically provided more information to Jesus. Matthew wrote: 27 Peter said to him, "Look, we left you all and chased you, then what will we do?" 28 Jesus told them. When the Son of Man is about to sit on its glorious throne, you will also sit on it. Every child and farm come and visit many times and inherit eternal life.

Young people and disciples are examples. At that time the young man was very rich, but if he believes in Jesus, he will not receive many blessings in the kingdom. On the other hand, the disciples gave up all that they obeyed Jesus, but they will receive many blessings in the kingdom. This statement introduces the metaphor of workers and their compensation (20: 1-15). Jesus repeated this at the end of the metaphor, but in reverse order (20: 16). This structure shows that the metaphor exemplifies the idea expressed in this section. Here, he means that many (not all) of the people who are clearly prioritized - for example wealthy, famous people, and comfortable disciples - are at the end of the kingdom. Because they think that they are willing to pay a sacrifice with all my heart to obey Jesus, their return is small.
