scripture

Mark 10:23-25

Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!” The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

En Espanol, Marcos 10:23-25

thought

Some people believe that Jesus is referring to a sowing needle. Others believe He is referring to holes in the outer wall of a city, which were called eyes of a needle because of their shape. For a camel to enter through one of these holes, its owner had to remove the load off it’s back and have the camel crouch down to get through the hole. Once through the eye of the needle, the owner would then put the load back onto the camel’s back. Either way, it is commonly understood that riches, more often than not, are a hindrance of righteousness.
