The parable of the rich young ruler has always seemed to me not so much a question of following the Law, as the ruler said he did, but following the Spirit of the Law, which was what the ruler could not do when asked to give all his money to the poor and follow Jesus. The next important part of that passage is that in answer to the disciple's question Jesus' answer is "With God, all things are possible."
