"The Rich In The Last Days" #2

James 5:1-6
Warning to the Rich
(The Problem)
Look here, you rich people: Weep and groan with anguish because of all the terrible troubles ahead of you.
Your wealth is rotting away, and your fine clothes are moth-eaten rags.
Your gold and silver are corroded.
The very wealth you were counting on will eat away your flesh like fire.
This corroded treasure you have hoarded will testify against you on the day of judgment.
For listen!
Hear the cries of the field workers whom you have cheated of their pay.
The cries of those who harvest your fields have reached the ears of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

You have spent your years on earth in luxury, satisfying your every desire.
You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter.
You have condemned and killed innocent people, who do not resist you.


Matthew 19:21-26
(The Answer)
Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
(The Problem)
But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
(The Answer)
But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
