Description
We sit with the disciples’ stunned question “Who then can be saved?” and let it expose the limits of our control. We trace how success and wealth can tempt us into living like we do not need God, and why salvation begins with surrender.
• the camel and the needle as a warning about false security
• “Who then can be saved?” as the doorway to humility
• the Prince of Tyre as a picture of success turning into self-deception
• the illusion of control and the moments life breaks it
• Christianity as salvation, not self-improvement
• Peter’s “we’ve left everything” as the posture of empty hands
• the kingdom reversal where dependence becomes blessedness
• the deeper inventory question of where prayer became optional
So get off the throne. You were never meant to sit there. Let God be God and let Him save you.
