Through The Eye of a Needle

Camels don’t show up often in the Bible, but when they do, it’s in a pretty memorable way—like when Jesus said, "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" (Mark 10:25). That’s a bold image, and it reminds us that worldly wealth isn’t what gets us into heaven—it’s a humble heart that truly matters.

But beyond the powerful teachings and miracles, Jesus also lived a real, everyday life. He walked dusty roads, shared meals with friends, and, who knows? Maybe He even hitched a ride on a camel now and then. This piece imagines one of those simple, in-between moments—a reminder that while Christ was the Son of God, He also experienced the ordinary, just like us.
