圣经经文

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” (Mark 10:25) “骆驼穿过针的眼也比富人进神的国容易。” （马可福音10：25）

意思

来源及应用

在表面看来，骆驼是不可能从骆驼里钻出来的。有一个富人问耶稣他应该怎样做才能得到永生。耶稣看着他，就爱他，要求他卖掉他所有的财产后跟随他。这个人看着就变了脸色，走开了。因为富人要进神的国就如骆驼要穿过针的眼一样难。耶稣这样对他的门徒们说。但这不是就说富人就不能进神的国。其实钱本身不是问题，是富人对钱的爱多过对神的爱，这才是对富人的挑战。
