Read Luke 18.18-27
Twentieth Sunday After Pentecost, October 23, 2022
It is impossible, Jesus said, for those who love their money to enter the kingdom of heaven. And so, we start to ask the same question the disciples asked in v. 26b “Who then can be saved?”
The answer comes in v. 27 ‘What is impossible for mortals is possible for God.’ The message is that even rich people can be saved if they give up their trust in their riches.
But the problem is that for the wealthy, money makes rich people feel so secure. Money makes rich people feel in control. And the message is yes; they can be saved, but they have to stop trusting in their riches and start trusting in Jesus Christ and him alone.
