Matthew19:22
The parting with all for Christ seemed so hard a condition to the young man, that he went away sorrowful from Christ.
Whence, Learn, 1. That a man wedded to the world will renounce Christ rather than the world, when both stand in competition.
2. That unregenerate and carnal men are exceeding sorrowful, and sadly concerned, that they cannot have heaven upon their own terms, and win it in their own way. The young man went away sorrowful.
