Evening: Psalm 94; Matthew 19:23-30
Jesus offers a ridiculously impossible image – a camel going through the eye of a needle – to explain how difficult it is for one burdened by the cares and preoccupations of wealth to experience fullness of life. In fact, it does not work. Thus, he turns the priorities of the world upside down – the ones now at the back of the line will find they are served first, and the ones now at the front will have to wait until last. Such is the unexpected newness of the great new world Jesus ushers in on the earth ... something completely different!
