The Eye Of The Needle

A camel with too many things…

Could not…

Enter the city

Once the city gate was closed

He had to enter the smaller door

The eye of the needle

He needed help

“Master, remove these things

I carry on my back.”

Then, down he went…

Humbly, he entered in…

His master helped him

We people need God’s help

To enter His kingdom

Will we humble ourselves?

Get on our knees?

Confess our need for God?

Allow God to remove what hinders?

“Then Jesus looked around and said to His disciples,

‘How hard it is for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle…

than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.’

And they were greatly astonished, saying among themselves,

‘Who then can be saved?’

But Jesus looked at them and said,

‘With men it is impossible, but not with God; for with God all things are possible.’”

“Whoever desires to become great among you shall be your servant.

And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all.

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,

and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Mark 10:23, 25-27, 43-45
