Then
Who In The World Can Be Saved?
He
Replied,
“What
Is Impossible For People Is Possible With God.”
Scripture
Luke
18
18
Once a religious leader asked Jesus this question: “Good Teacher,
what should I do to inherit eternal life?”
19
“Why do you call me good?” Jesus asked him. “Only God is truly
good. 20 But to answer your question, you know the commandments: ‘You
must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal.
You must not testify falsely. Honor your father and mother.’”
22 When Jesus
heard his answer, he said, “There is still one thing you haven’t
done. Sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and
you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
24
When Jesus saw this, he said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter
the Kingdom of God! 25 In fact, it is easier for a camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the
Kingdom of God!”
Observation
Being
well off, having lots of money may have its advantages, but neither
getting into Heaven or having a relationship with God is one of them.
All
of our money, all of our toys, all of our stuff, will not help us
when it comes to obtaining Eternal Life!
In
fact, having lots of stuff here on Earth, may just keep us from
having the riches that will last forever!
It
is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a
person who has lots of stuff (a rich person) to enter the Kingdom of
God!
Lets
focus on a rich relationship with God!
Luke
12
20
“But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night.
Then who will get everything you worked for?’
22
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said, “That is why I tell you
not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food to
eat or enough clothes to wear.
Application
I
will focus today on my relationship with my Heavenly Father! How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, there are times I have to admit that I think about what I
would do with millions of dollars if I had them. I do wonder at times
what it would be like to be one of those who has millions or even one
of the few in this world that has billions of dollars. Then I come to
my senses and realize that I already have it all. I am a child of the
King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I am heir to everything that my
Heavenly Father has created.
