Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 19:21-22

"Jesus said unto him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell that which thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowful; for he was one that had great possessions." — Matthew 19:21-22 (ASV)

See, then, that often with men—with young men—the great hindrance in coming to Christ may be the world. They may have riches, or they may have a great craving for riches; and this may stand in the way of their coming to the Savior. If anyone loves riches better than they love Christ, they cannot be saved.
