23 But when the man heard this he became very sad, for he was very rich.
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!”
26 Those who heard this said, “Then who in the world can be saved?”
27 He replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.”
28 Peter said, “We’ve left our homes to follow you.”
29 “Yes,” Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, 30 will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come.” (Luke 18:23-30 NLT)
God can do what we cannot do. Love of money can cut us off from God because we can't serve both God and money. God can do what we cannot do. Jesus opened God's Kingdom by His death and resurrection. He invites us to follow Him. Anything we leave behind because we are following Jesus does not compare to being in God's Kingdom forever.
Jesus makes Possible what is Impossible for us.
