TODAY'S PROMISE

"Jesus looked straight at him with love and said,

'You need only one thing.  Go and sell all you have

and give the money to the poor, and you will have

riches in heaven; then come and follow me.'  When

the man heard this, gloom spread over his face, and 

he went away sad, because he was very rich.

   Jesus looked around at his disciples and said to them,

'How hard it will be for rich people to enter the kingdom

of God!'

   The disciples were shocked at these words, but

Jesus went on to say, 'My children, how hard it is

to enter the Kingdom of God!  It is much harder

for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God than

for a camel to go through the eye of a needle.'

At this the disciples were completely amazed and asked

one another, 'Who, then, can be saved?'

Jesus looked straight at them and answered, 'This

is impossible for humans beings but not for God;

everything is possible for God."

(Mark 10:21 - 27 GNT)
