“Indeed, it is easier for a camel to larn through the optic of a needle than for individual who is rich to come inwards the kingdom of God.” Those who heard this asked, “Who too thence tin last saved?” Jesus replied, “What is impossible amongst human being is possible amongst God.” Luke 18:25-27
Jesus used this hyperbole(1) to instruct us:
1. Wealth is non a sign of righteousness. This refutes the didactics of every prosperity instructor who claims God wants us rich (Philippians 4:11; James 2:5).
2. Wealth is a pop too deadly faux god (Matthew 6:24).
3. It’s impossible to larn a camel through the optic of a needle, too it’s impossible for a human being to salvage himself (Romans 8:3).
Thank you, Jesus, that you lot tin produce what is impossible for us!
