Jesus speaking with the Rich Young Ruler (hereafter abbr. RYR), makes it plain! Keeping the Law requires Pure & Perfect GOOD. When the RYR addresses Jesus as GOOD MASTER Jesus stops him abruptly to question his use of the word "agathos" which means "Pure & Perfect Good". The typical and honorable Greeting of a teacher would be "kalos" which also means good but in an earthly sense. That which is respectable or virtuous as is fitting a teacher.
"Agathos"; Jesus goes on to explain, is a kind of Good so pure & perfect it can only belong to and come from God.
And yet it is this kind of GOOD God demands, which would involve the RYR selling everything he owned and giving it the poor and then, coming to Jesus and following Him for the rest of his days on earth.
This he was not willing or able to do. Therefore, He went away sad!
But Jesus LOVED him and would soon demonstrate what "agathos" looks like as the perfect and pure Son of God hung naked on the Cross, selling everything he had giving it to the poor RYR & all others, incapable of "agathos", without which no one rich or poor can enter the kingdom any more than a camel can pass through the "Eye of the Needle".
We hope you get it & will help you thread it.
