How preachers through history handled this text
44 public-domain excerpts on Matthew 19, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Though Christ spoke so strongly, few that have riches do not trust in them. How few that are poor are not tempted to envy! But men's earnestness in this matter is like their toiling to build a high wall to shut themselves and their children out of heaven. It should be satisfaction to those who are in a low condition, that they are not exposed to the temptations of a high and prosperous condition. If they live more hardly in this world than the rich, yet, if they get more easily to a better world, they have no reason to complain. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Matthew 19:23–40 (Public Domain)
