The Phrases are always try to get Jesus to say something wrong but it will never happen he is holy and does not mess up! Jesus says when we get married we are made one try cutting yourself in half! The only reason husband and wife should split is because of unfaithfulness to God. Don't divorce because of the stupid things in life it's becoming so popular now and it rips families apart, no one wants to have divorced parents.
It's really hard to drop all the things in this life we seem to love so much just let it go and follow his lead. Being rich should not be our goal being rich is a bad thing bring your self low. The kingdom of heaven will be like this the people who spent life on themselves will get that in return but those who dropped everything and followed will be rewarded.

We see talk about marriage but really the talk is just to try to get Jesus to say something wrong and trap him into something. But as we know thats not going to happen- he is much smarter than that and has the wisdom to see these things. There is no "escape" to marriage and think that we today don't have anything close to this view. God love the children and even though the thought they (the disciples) thought they were bothersome God blesses them and made the time for them. I think this story illustrates that they rich man followed all of the laws but was he really "following" God? He kept the laws thats one thing but did he make the time for God? He was a busy working man that had a lot and didn't want to "give it all" to Jesus. That is what is required of us. When we have stuff its hard to give up, we want to hang onto it. We know that were are time, money, energy is, that is where are heart is also. What has the "highest priority" in our lives? Some of these things seem impossible, for us, but God is there and he helps us along the way. He guides us and gives us what we need and can make the impossible seem possible. Basically he gives us HOPE. We will get the greatest gift of all, eternal life. That this life is very short but the eternal is much longer and where would you rather "have more"?
