In Matthew 19 we read a familiar story. The story is of the rich young ruler. He was like a lot of religious people today, proud and arrogant.
Religious people are the hardest to witness to because of their pride.
Jesus had his best results with people off the streets, publicans and sinners. Publicans were tax collectors and sinners were prostitutes. His worst results came from religious people. Here is a man that was religious. He had kept the law all of his life and was coming to Jesus not really looking for the way of salvation, but wanting Jesus to pat him on the back and tell him he was doing alright.
