Jesus made this statement as He conducted a dialogue with His Disciples concerning admittance into the eternal Kingdom of Heaven. He had just finished telling the rich young ruler that he would need to sell all his belongings and give them to the poor. People are no different today. Their security and sense of well-being is directly related to their bank account or material possessions. We don’t realize that when we die, we can’t take it with us and it will give us NO ADVANTAGE over anyone else … unless we will have done what Jesus said … give it to the poor and thereby invest it in our eternal future.

Is it possible to give it all away? In men’s eyes it probably isn’t. In God’s eyes and with His perspective, we can see the possibility to separate ourselves from our possessions and rely upon Him to provide for us.

Again, with God, all things are possible.
