I often read verse 21 and jump to a conclusion that Jesus is simply talking about money, Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” If you aren’t careful you can miss the first few word in the passage “Jesus looked at him and loved him”, even when God corrects us He really does love us. I equate this to my kids and how there are times it breaks my heart when I have to take corrective action, but I never stop loving them. How much more does God love me and how much more does it break His heart?
