" … Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. …" Mark 10:24-25
None of us would admit that we 'trust' in our riches, especially to get us to heaven. That seems foolish to even consider, and yet some people do believe their money can secure them everlasting life in heaven. Money has never been a prerequisite for salvation, and it has absolutely nothing to do with whether a person knows Jesus as Savior.
Scripture says that it is difficult for a rich man to go to heaven. Why is that? Because sometimes money changes people. And, when you are so given to worrying about riches, it is difficult to let go of the "security" that you can see in order to trust in One Whom you cannot see.
I'd rather have the peace of God than all the money in the world.
Scripture Reading for the Day:
Mark 10
Proverbs 23
When you think about it, money comes and goes. Jesus when He comes is here to stay. What an overwhelming thought!
ReplyDeleteVery true, money does come and go! Nothing on this earth is forever, but Jesus certainly is!
