The “young man” manifested a willingness to keep the commandments, yet our Lord told him that he lacked one thing. 

 He desired eternal life, but loved his possessions more. Many are self-deceived. 

 They have not sought for truth as for hid treasures. 

 Their powers are not put to the best account. 

 Their minds, which might be illuminated with heaven’s light, are perplexed and troubled.
