I see many rich followers of Christ today. Does this teaching encourage followers of Christ to be poor? Are the poor better of as followers of Christ?

Why did Jesus tell the rich man to sell all his possessions before coming to follow Him?

Jesus needed to teach a great lesson about storing treasures in heaven. The fact that the rich man went away sad, clearly indicates that he was obsessed with his worldly belongings. obsession is an obstacle to any good intention. The rich man had abided by all the Mosaic laws, but missed the law of Jesus-to love one another. Jesus took this great opportunity to teach even the disciples that- no one is good, except only God. He even taught that -with man it was impossible, but with God, nothing is impossible.Jesus took this opportunity to assure the disciples who had left everything inorder to follow Jesus, that they would sit on thrones and judge the tribes of israel. Jesus also loved the rich man so much, that is why he went a step further to underscore to him the mysteries of storing riches in heaven. In short, the worldly wealth that the rich man was so obsessed with, was no ticket at all to inherit eternal life.
