Description
The painting depicts the episode in the life of Jesus that is recorded in Matthew 19, Mark 10 and Luke 18. The rich young man, or ruler, asks Jesus what he must do to inherit eternal life. Christ answers that he must sell his goods and give them to the poor. The man is sad because he realizes that he is not willing to do this. The passage has variously been interpreted throught he ages. Dispensationalists believe that the message is distinct from the eventual teaching of Jesus. Non-Dispensationalists believe that Jesus was describing the individualized prerequisite that the Young Man would need to perform before he could embark on his journey of discipleship. And there have been yet others who have veiwed this as Jesus’ call for believers to divest themselves of their worldly goods.
