What is holding you back?

Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
Mat 19:17 And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.
Mat 19:18 He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Mat 19:19 Honour thy father and [thy] mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Mat 19:20 The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?
Mat 19:21 Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go [and] sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come [and] follow me.
Mat 19:22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Mat 19:23 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

We are all familiar with this story of the rich man who could not let go of his wealth.
Ask your neighbor, "What are you holding on to?"
In verse 24 Jesus states, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
This metaphor of Jesus is misunderstood in that is does not specifically refer to only rich people. It is about people holding on the things and situations that they will not let go of to work for God.
YEAH, I HAVE 2 AGREE WITH U. JUST PUT THE TOPIC OF THE SERMON, ALONG WITH THE SCRIPTURE(S).
