Matthew 19:23-24. The Eye of a Needle 15 Aug 2023

Mat 19:23 Then Jesus said to his disciples,
'In truth I tell you,
it is hard for someone rich
to enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Mat 19:24 Yes, I tell you again,
it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle
than for someone rich to enter the kingdom of Heaven.'

When I was a child I envisioned a sewing needle. It had just a very tiny hole. Even a small camel would not fit.

My understanding and faith have matured a little in 50 years.
By times I am still the alike of a heavily loaded camel.

Prayer

Jesus, grant me a loving and trusting heart.
