Didn't Jesus say to sell everything you own and to follow him?

I'm pretty sure that nobody in this forum has done that because you wouldn't own a computer to communicate with this forum.

While he was physically on earth he did tell a man, if he wanted to be perfect, to sell what he had and follow him. If Jesus were walking on earth today, I would want to let go of everything and follow him. But he has already ascended up into heaven, so there is no option to follow him physically today. Now we follow him in the spirit. We listen to his leading in life, through our conscience, and do as he says, which always involves love and truth.
