Question:What’s ‘The Eye Of A Needle’

Question: What did Jesus mean when He said, “It Is Easier For A Camel To Go Through The Eye Of A Needle Than A Rich Man To Enter The Kingdom Of God.” (MARK 10:25 )

Read answer

Go away from me, Lord

“When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus’ knees and said, ‘Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!'” (Luke 5:8-9).

Peter was going about his work-day trying to earn a living with his fishing business. Jesus showed up on the shoreline after they’d had a bad day. Jesus asked to use his boat by casting off the shoreline in order to teach the people. 

After Jesus used Peter’s business for His purposes, He turned to Peter and suggested he throw his nets out again.  Though reluctant and argumentative, Peter obeys. When Peter’s nets are filled with fish–a strange awareness comes over him. Peter was overwhelmed at the personal love and power that was directed specifically at his need at the moment–his ailing business. It was more than he could handle.

Whenever we have a genuine encounter with the living Christ, we are confronted with our own humanity and sin compared to the unmerited love and power of Jesus Christ that is personally directed to us. It then brings us to our knees.

Life is never the same after you have a personal encounter with Jesus. If you need a personal encounter with your Savior, ask Him today to reveal His power in your work.
