In this episode of Good News for a Change, Fr. Constantine Lazarakis explores the Gospel passage in which we learn that “It is easier for a Camel to go through the Eye of a Needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Matthew 19:24. Jesus words to the man, “Give all that you own to the poor and follow me” are a challenge not just to the man, but to all of us. We don’t want to hear that we really need to sell all we have. And we don’t want to hear that it is impossible for us to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. To fully understand this passage, we need to reflect on who the wealthy man is, where we should invest our time and riches, and finally, on how great God’s love is.
