THE GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
Part 51: The Eye of the Needle |
|
|
A young man came to Jesus one day with questions
about eternal life. He was fantastically wealthy, a political ruler,
but the God-man’s unorthodox answer was a sobering lesson in
surrender. The rich young ruler was bound to his lifestyle and
that’s why Jesus told him to liquidate his possessions and give
everything away. Although he was a student of the Bible, this young
man trusted too much in his assets and the privilege it afforded
him. This is why the Son of God stated it was easier for a camel to
pass through the eye of the needle than for a rich man to enter
heaven. Jesus said there would be rewards for those who accepted His
calling and left everything behind. It is not easy to surrender to
the Lord, but your reward in heaven will surpass any amount of
riches, fame, and power achieved on earth. |
