Why did Jesus say it was easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom? Is there something evil about having money?
With all due respect, I think you’ve asked the wrong question.
For a discussion about evil–its sources and implications–is the best way to leave yourself paranoid and frightened to do anything.
The real question: Is there anything good about money?
1. It can allow us to be free of the tension of sustaining ourselves, and cause us to begin to “consider the lily.”
2. If we can convince ourselves that we actually have enough of this money stuff, it is possible to stimulate a wave of generosity in our actions which will be a blessing to those around us.
3. If we find ourselves in the black instead of the red, we grant our spirit an energy to generate creativity and come up with inventive ideas.
4. Having money gives us a chance to give opportunity to those who have talent but just lack funding.
5. If we’re able to convince ourselves that we are accomplished, and therefore do not have to fear losing our finance, we can expand our vision and become less critical.
When Jesus said “it is more difficult for a rich man to make it into heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle,” what he was referring to was not the presence of money, but rather, the failure to exorcise the demon of insufficiency.
Just because you have money does not mean you cease to believe you’re poor.
For it is the love of money that is the root of all evil–the yearning, the despair, the nervousness, the feeling of inadequacy–that launches all sorts of vile actions.
If you’re going to have money, you must reach a point where you’re convinced that you have money.
That frees you up to become generous, turning money into a gift of the spirit, which grants you angelic potential to be a Good Samaritan to the world around you.
