I Want Eternal Life So I Have Come To You Poem by Royston Allen

Matthew 19: 16-26—16Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, 'Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life? '
17'Why do you ask me about what is good? ' Jesus replied. 'There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments.'
18'Which ones? ' the man inquired.
Jesus replied, ' 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony,19honor your father and mother, ' and 'love your neighbour as yourself.''
20'All these I have kept, ' the young man said. 'What do I still lack? '
21Jesus answered, 'If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'
22When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
23Then Jesus said to his disciples, 'I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.24Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.'
25When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, 'Who then can be saved? '
26Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'
