The gospel tells us of a man commanded by Jesus to give up everything for the sake of God's kingdom. Pretty much like the story of St. Francis. The question that comes to mind is how does this relate to those of us living in 21st century Christianity? There are many ways to interpret the gospel message of "go and sell everything", but it certainly does not refer only to money. We are commanded to "go and sell" whatever causes our distance from the love of God.
When we respond to the Jesus' challenge, he promises us "treasurers in heaven". As followers of Jesus, we want to do whatever he asks of us so that we may have "treasures in heaven".
