Jesus never spoke idle words. Even His most challenging statements carry eternal weight and divine authority. In What Did Jesus Mean?, Dr. Michael Youssef confronts the difficult teachings of Christ with boldness and clarity—declaring not personal opinion, but the inerrant truth of God’s Word. From Jesus’ claim to bring a sword rather than peace, to His uncompromising standard for marriage and divorce, this series calls believers to stop reshaping Scripture to fit culture—and start submitting to the lordship of Christ. Each message urges repentance, affirms the divinity of Jesus, and reminds us that true peace comes only through full surrender to Him.

In this urgent message, Dr. Michael Youssef boldly confronts the misunderstood words of Jesus: “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.” Rooted in Scripture—not cultural myths or rabbinic traditions—he exposes how wealth often creates false security, self-sufficiency, worldly attachment, and a counterfeit sense of God’s favor. But Jesus’ warning is not about money itself—it’s about idolatry. Whether rich or poor, no one can buy, earn, or bargain their way into heaven. Only by repenting of pride, trusting in Christ alone, and laying down every idol can anyone be saved. Anything less is spiritual delusion.
