Disturbing Red Letters: It is Hard for Rich People to Enter the Kingdom

This week's Disturbing Red Letters come from Luke 18. After encountering a rich ruler who refused to give his wealth to the poor and follow Jesus, Jesus responded by saying, “How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!”
