Camels, needles, rich men, Jesus - and us (Mark 10:17-36)




Sermons from Pakenham Lakeside Church show

Summary: A rich young man comes to Jesus asking 'Good teacher, what must I do to be saved?' The conversation takes a very unexpected turn. <br> Jesus says 'It is harder for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.' <br> But what if it was an infant pygmy camel and a giant novelty needle?<br> There are no loopholes in receiving the Kingdom of God and eternal life - Jesus has closed them all. There is only Jesus. What is impossible for people is possible for God.<br> <br> This sermon was preached on Sunday 11th October 2015, at Lakeside College in Pakenham, Victoria.<br> It can be listened to in conjunction with the <a href="https://prezi.com/fcg_kg4cnlhk/looking-for-loopholes-mark-10-jesus-and-the-rich-young-man/">Prezi zooming visuals found at this link.</a>
