Boldness & Courage

And behold, one came up to him, saying, “Teacher, what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?” ⏤ Matthew 19:16

When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions. ⏤ Matthew 19:22

Don't confuse boldness with courage. Brashness often masks a lack of courage. The way of Jesus is hard and costly. Many turn away, some with sorrow, others with expressions of certainty intended to deflect.
