The Eye Of A Needle

And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. Matthew19:24

The “Eye of a Needle” was a narrow gateway into Jerusalem. Since camels were heavily loaded with goods and riders, they would need to be un-loaded in order to pass through. Therefore, the analogy is that a rich man would have to similarly unload his material possessions in order to enter heaven.

 

The Law of Survival

Every morning in Africa, a deer wakes up. It knows it has to run faster than the fastest lion, or it will be killed.

Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it has to run faster than the slowest deer, or it will starve to death.

It does not matter if you are a lion or a deer—when the sun rises, you’d better be running.
