What does the Bible say about money? | JESUS, THE RICH YOUNG RULER and the EYE OF THE NEEDLE
What does the Bible say about money? The Bible passage about the Rich Young Ruler, found in Matthew 19:16-26, conveys a profound lesson on wealth, possessions and faith. In this scripture, a wealthy young man approaches Jesus, seeking eternal life, only to be challenged to sell his possessions and give to the poor. Jesus then illustrates the difficulty for the rich to enter the Kingdom of Heaven by referencing the "eye of a needle," which many believe symbolises a narrow gate in the walled city of Jerusalem that traders on camels struggled to pass through at night. This metaphor within Jesus' parable emphasises the challenges wealth can pose to reaching spiritual fulfilment and serves as a reminder of the importance of prioritising faith in God over material possessions. 📖 In this video, I tell the story of the Rich Young Ruler in the bible: ⚬ Is it ok to be rich? ⚬ What does the Bible say about money? ⚬ What does Jesus say about money? ⚬ What does the Bible say about the Rich Young Ruler? ⚬ What did Jesus say to the Rich Young Ruler ⚬ What is the "eye of the needle" in the Bible? ⚬ How does the Rich Young Ruler illustrate the challenges of wealth? ⚬ What did Jesus ask the Rich Young Ruler to do? ⚬ What is Matthew 19 in the Bible? 🎬 Check out more bible stories on the channel: 🌊 MOSES PARTS THE RED SEA • MOSES PARTS THE RED SEA IN THE PRINCE OF E... 🇲🇹 APOSTLE PAUL IS SHIPWRECKED ON MALTA • PAUL, THE APOSTLE OF CHRIST MEETS JESUS on... 🦶 JESUS WALKS ON WATER • JESUS AND PETER WALK ON WATER | WW2 RNLI ... 🌪️ JESUS CALMS THE STORM IN GALILEE • JESUS CALMS THE STORM AND EVERYTHING CHANG... 🐟 JESUS AND THE MIRACULOUS CATCH OF FISH • JESUS CALLS HIS FIRST DISCIPLES | Jesus an... 📺 Check out my Bible Stories playlist: • Bible Blockbusters ⏰ VIDEO CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction 00:19 The Rich Young Ruler Meets Jesus 01:13 The Eye of the Needle camel parable 02:27 What does Jesus say about money? 02:56 Choosing to follow Jesus ✍️ ABOUT STEVE LEE I've been a storyteller all my life with a deep love of history. As a dreamer in Sunday School, I was mesmerised by the stories of the Bible - David and Goliath, the Battle of Jericho and the parting of the Red Sea. But through my teenage years, I struggled to get the whole religious thing and left it well alone. It took me some time to realise I needed to go back and pick up what I left behind. At 20 I encountered the God of the Bible stories I had learned about as a kid and it changed my life forever. I founded Miracle Street as a result and it has taken me all over the world on countless adventures. Today I communicate in all kinds of environments - indoors, outdoors and online, often retelling the stories of famous lives and epic moments from the past. Behind it all is a backcloth of the greatest story ever told - the story of a creator God who has relentlessly loved this world and the people in it.
