Primarily what Christ meant there was specifically targeted to that young man, whose passion lied with his wealth and possessions.

Secondarily and in the more general sense - and the lesson of the passage for the rest of the world - is to put our individual seeking of the Kingdom above our worldly desires, whatever it is that knocks us off the path to the Kingdom.

Exactly. And that includes the poor, also. Look to HIM, HE is their Source, not the government, not man.

That’s the way to His financial provision, not handouts. The poor have climbed out of debt doing it HIS Way.
