Reading: Luke 18:15-30 |
This is really about the kingdom of God and most people who read this. (The “camels and needles” things is supposed to be a catchy title.)
Most people who read this should take solemn warning at these words of Jesus:
“How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!” (24).
By historical standards as well as global averages, most of us who read this are rich. No doubt we even qualify as very rich.
Thus, we should ask ourselves if that wealth imperils our entrance into God’s kingdom. After all . . . .
“For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God” (25).
So what am I to do?
Put my mind and my heart and my treasure and my affection in the right place.
from Luke 15:20,22
