Sermon | ”Rich Life” | October 17

Jesus is sometimes quite generic in His encouragements, but here He is pointed. Wealth presents challenges to being a disciple that abides in Him. To make sure it's heard He even repeats Himself and paints a picture - just as large animals simply do not fit through tiny openings, so the wealthy do not fit in the kingdom of God. It's a call to awareness and even to be concerned about those things that would keep us from following Jesus. Have you considered lately how much of the peace comes from not feeling "in need" and how much comes because Jesus has met your deepest need?
