Matthew 19:23-26
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly, I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 25 When His disciples heard it, they were greatly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?” 26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
If we hold to what we have, we cannot grasp the eternal. First we must put down what are valuables to us in order to pickup the things of God. In so doing, we find it difficult to take up those other things again with hands full of the kingdom...unless we put the true valuables aside and again grasp the dust and wind. One who has much must be moved and enabled by God to grasp and hold on to the eternal.
