[Ken H]

Matt.19 [21] Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

[22] But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

[23] Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

[24] And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

[Kolokotronis]

Thank-you for that.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

I believe I am correct that the “needle” was a small door in the wall surrounding Jerusalem. For a camel to pass through this “needle” or small door, all the packages had to be unloaded from the camel, and the camel had to crawl through on his knees.

So?....All must unburden themselves from unhealthy attachment to wealth and other worldly interests and humble themselves before God.

There is a disciple that the socialists are in step with.
