About this listen
The story of the rich young ruler contrasts sharply with Zacchaeus. Whereas Zacchaeus, a sinful man, received salvation through faith and repentance, this wealthy, moral, and respected young leader missed it. Though he sincerely sought eternal life, he approached Jesus asking what he must do to inherit it, relying on his goodness, rule-keeping, and wealth as signs of favor. Jesus lovingly exposed his heart idol—his riches—by calling him to surrender them and follow Him. Sadly, he walked away, unwilling to let go. The lesson is clear: no one is “good enough” for heaven, nor can eternal life be earned. Salvation comes only by God’s grace through faith in Christ, requiring humble surrender of anything we treasure above Him.
