How hard is it for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God? Our text says that 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. This is a very profound picture that has been given to us by our Lord Jesus Christ, and we want to think about it in relation to ourselves this morning. You are probably thinking to yourself; But I am not rich; what does this have to do with me? Well, it is your definition of rich that I want to address this morning. I want you to be able to understand that you could consider yourself to be very poor, when actually you are very rich. And you might consider yourself to be very rich, when actually you are very poor. In fact, there is a proverb about this in the Bible. Proverbs 13, verse 7. It says, “There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; and one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.” This is the truth that we want to consider today. So first, I would like you to think about your entering the kingdom of God. Then second; I would like you to think about your going through the eye of a needle. And then third, I would like you to think about the good possibilities with God.
