Mark 10:25- “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
Brad shook hands with his partner and turned to place his briefcase in his Tesla. He glanced at his Rolex. Eight o’clock. Once more, he’d missed dinner with his family.
All the way home, through the gate, and up the gradual incline that ended in a curved driveway, he thought about his charmed life.
He had everything. Wealth, a beautiful family, a retirement account unsurpassed by anyone in his company. Why, then, was he unhappy? Unfulfilled?
The new guy, Jack, was starting at the bottom. He was barely even able to support his family on his meager salary. But he had a spring to his step. He radiated happiness.
His demeanor was so irritating that today Brad flat out asked him what made him so happy.
“Jesus.”
Brad knew what that kind of life would mean. Bible Studies, Potluck dinners at the church, and tithing. Giving up time and resources he’d worked so hard to acquire.
He stood on his front steps, his hand on the door handle. Who in their right mind would give all this up?
Not me, that’s for sure.
It’s hard for the rich and powerful to put faith in anyone other than themselves. But they need a Savior just as much as you and I.
If you know someone who “has it all” on earth, pray that they will be able to relinquish control—for a heavenly reward.
