English Standard Version
Truly, it is harder to enter the kingdom of Heaven then for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle! Imagine keeping the entire law and then missing one tiny point -- it invalidates the rest of your efforts. Imagine driving from New York to Los Angeles and then driving 56 in a 55 mph speed limit near the destination, and realizing the entire trip was in vain. You'd go nuts with that kind of pressure!
Thanks be to God that Jesus wipes away our sin, that Jesus recognizes our weakness and take the punishment we rightly deserve. We have broken the law, but in Christ, we receive the glory that is due to him, and he receives the punishment that is due to us. What a priceless gift!
