"Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said, " -Mark 10:21
| Reading: Mark 10:17-22
Jesus gave this man a very difficult teaching, a teaching which came out of love for the man. Jesus engage them in dialogue. The man was proud that he had kept all the commandments since he was young. But Jesus could see that his attachment to money was keeping him from fulfilling his purpose. He loved him and challenged him to let it go, to share it freely with others, and to become a servant of the people.
