Jesus directly penetrated his disciples deeply into the principle of liberation from money as a condition for entering the kingdom of God, and showed them through the parable of the camel that could not enter through the eye of a needle the impossibility for him who has riches to get to God and please him. God is love. He spends all that he has and offers his gifts richly. The Eternal One does not live for himself, but serves his creatures. Whoever wants to abide in him, let him love, give as God gives, and serve incessantly.
Do not forget that you are rich in your gifts of spirit, of soul, and of body. At what price would you sell your heart, if someone sick came to you asking your heart to be transferred into him? You have more valuable things than millions, which you are unaware of. In other words, do you still have your heart for your own, or did you offer it in fact to Jesus Christ?
When the disciples understood Jesus’ command, they also became afraid like that rich ruler, and mumbled saying, "Who then can be saved?" They knew they still loved money, and designed to become, in future, the senior ministers responsible for controlling government policy in the kingdom of God. They were willing not to decrease their material income, but to increase it, and secure the future of their families.
Christ in his mercy testified to them that the power of God could deliver them from all the sins and bonds of Satan. No man can gain material life through his personal sacrifices, but God in his grace offers it freely. There is none who does good. God did what cannot be done, and made his Son a man that the evil might become children of God. The Holy Spirit, who is today God’s life in the believers, creates in us love for the poor and the needy that we may feel deep affection for sacrifice, and put our money at Jesus Christ’s disposal. So did you submit your wallet completely to your Lord? Which poor man in your surrounding have you helped practically and continuously?
