“Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
Matthew 19:24
The Camel and the Needle
A beast of burden, tall and proud,
brought low before a sewing shroud.
The needle’s eye, absurdly small,
a gate no creature should breach at all.
We laugh at how it strains to pass,
its towering frame through thread thin glass.
But heaven’s door is narrow still,
not bent by riches, pride, or will.
The camel bows, the rich man stalls,
the kingdom waits for one who falls.
For what is impossible with men
is opened wide by God again.
