23 Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
RICH
If you have money in your pocket and a bank account,
You are among the top 25% of the people in the world.
That simply means you are rich.
Do you think of yourself as rich?
The Word of God presents many stumbling blocks for the rich.
Probably ego, the opposite of humility is the worst.
Serve the Lord.
Humble yourself under His mighty hand.
Repent, and follow Jesus.
