The rich man of Penrith

A man saw Jesus in a dream and said, "So Jesus, what can you do for me?"

"Well, with me you would have eternal life."

"I'm sure I'll be right with that. I mean, I'm good to my wife and kids, I work hard, give to charity - well sometimes; I even mow my mum's lawn."

Jesus said, "All those things are good. But it's not enough. I want your heart. I want you to give up on the idea that you've got it all together without me. I want you to stop depending on your money. I want you to stop believing whatever the world tells you."

The man walked away with a heavy heart. Waking soon after feeling disturbed.


Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!”
The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! 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.”
The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?”
Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.”
Mark 10:23-27
