How can the rich get into heaven? This question comes into play because the rich have a lot here on earth and may be satisfied with their circumstances, not desiring a better way of life beyond their earthly experience. They have fulfilled all their wants, so what more could they dream of? That’s why Jesus says it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get into heaven. It is so important that we get our minds right and set our hearts on Jesus so the extraordinary things of this world don’t distract us from the true riches set aside for us by Jesus. What we have here on earth is nothing compared to what we have in Jesus; we have only the dross of unrefined gold, but what is waiting for us is beyond what we could imagine. Be careful not to get caught up in the things of this world; set your eyes on Jesus and keep in check what you adore in this current life. Don’t get discouraged if you are rich and think you cannot get into heaven. Jesus says all things are possible with God. The world is changing rapidly; get your mind right because Jesus’s return may be right around the corner, so we need to be prepared. 

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:24-26
