Luke 18:22-23 Part 1 of 2

When Jesus heard his answer, he said, "There is still one thing you haven't done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very rich.

When Jesus heard his answer, he said, "There is still one thing you haven't done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor,"

1 Timothy 6:18-19  Tell them (the rich) to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and generous to those in need, always being ready to share with others.
