"If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor,
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come and follow me"

[Matt. 19:21]

These words point directly at the obsession with wealth.

Jesus was talking about freeing oneself from the worship of mammon.

Jesus said,
"Verily I say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,
than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God"

[verses 23, 24]

The needle's eye was a small postern gate, used after nightfall,
when the large gates of the city were shut.

Only by the load being removed from the camel's back, and with much pushing and pulling,
could the animal be got through;
so the rich man must get rid of his load of riches if he wished to enter the Kingdom of God.
