Day 158: The Reality of Sin (2025)

I mean, honestly, there's no teacher. There's no rabbi. There's no professor. There's no priest. There's no one who can make the claim that say your eternal salvation.

But my children, how hard it is for those who are wealthy to enter the kingdom of God. It's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. And you might have heard it said that, you know, in Jerusalem, there was this entryway called the needle.

And if it was only big enough for a camel to be unburdened, to crawl through on its knees, that in order for this camel to get through this gateway, you'd have to unsaddle it, essentially take all the material stuff off of it, and then it could go through. Maybe, maybe not. There's not really a ton of evidence for that.

But what the upshot really is, is here's a camel, which is the largest animal known to the people in the Middle East. I mean, they might have heard of elephants, but they're not familiar with them. They don't see them often. Taking the largest animal, camel, smallest aperture, the eye of a needle, and say, you can't get those things through. That's impossible. Jesus can say this. Why?

Because of who he is. When it comes for the teachings on male and female, when it comes to the teaching on divorce and remarriage, when it comes to the teaching on choose me in heaven or don't choose me and you're choosing hell, and here when it comes to the teaching on wealth, Jesus is highlighting so powerfully who he really is. He's highlighting the fact that he is who he says he is.

He is God himself. And to say yes to him is to say yes to God. And to say no to him is to say no to God. Oh man, there's so much depth in all these teachings. And I know that some of these teachings, maybe all of them challenge us. Because I know, hey, as we're listening to this, as we're listening to God's word, we all have a story, right? We all have history.

Maybe it's of divorce and remarriage. God, what do you want me to do?
