The Rich Young Man The Rich Young Man The Rich Young Man is a story about a young man who is attempting to reach the kingdom of God. The young man asks Jesus what he needs to do in order to gain eternal life. Jesus simply tells him to follow the Commandments. They are you shall not kill, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not defraud and honor your father and your mother. The young man, being a virtuous man, states he in fact has followed these laws since he was young. In that Jesus turns to the young man and tells him that there is one thing he is missing in order to gain eternal happiness. Jesus tells him that he must give away all his worldly possessions to the poor and follow him. With this the young man grows sad because he is very rich and has much to give up. With this Jesus turns to his disciples and says, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!” He then continues and states, “It is easier jesus, god, man, life, young, passage, good, rich, tells, first, mark’s, gospel, order, last, kingdom, just, everlasting, eternal, commandments, because, very, shall, same, one, follow, fact, both, wealth, story, stories, states, says, passages, money, matthew’s
