25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

26 The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”

27 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”

Context is everything.

My take on all of those verses is that through God, the rich man can still gain salvation, but in accepting God he shall no longer BE a rich man: he’ll divest himself of worldly things.

In other words, verses 26 and 27 give the rich man a path to salvation. It’s an easy path to visualize, but a very hard path to walk.

Do you disagree?
