It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God, speaks of the needle gate in the temple that the camels had to have their backs clear so they could stoop down to go through. This is telling rich people to get to heaven, you have to unload your riches. The rich young ruler had many riches, and was unwilling to do so, and walked away because of his covetousness. Jesus said a man's life does not consist in the abundance of the riches that they possess. Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Those who are rich in this world must not trust in riches, but be free to give to the poor, as well as the needy.
