    The Lazarus Effect [SSL 310]

    The Lazarus Effect [SSL 310]

    Jesus uses a shocking and hilarious hyperbole "a camel going through the opening of a needle" to speak of how absurd it is to think that the rich can be a part of what God is up to. His students are dumbfounded. The camel is the biggest animal they know about, but the opening of a needle? How tiny.







    We might say, it's easier to play golf by using a boulder for a golfball or it's easier to climb a greased pole the size of the Empire State building with no arms and legs.







    This means It is patently absurd to think that the rich will catch on to what God is doing and join in.







    Yet, we also know that some wealthy people were part of the Kingdom of God in the Bible and some were as early Christians. Something is different about those people that is rare and inspired and few of us will catch on for ourselves. Enjoy the episode and pass it along.
