Even though I gave them all my laws, they act as if those laws don’t apply to them.

Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you.

So when we preach that Christ was crucified, the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it’s all nonsense.

The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God.

Peter was very perplexed. What could the vision mean? Just then the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house. Standing outside the gate,

Many of his disciples said,“ This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?”

They stood there amazed and perplexed.“ What can this mean?” they asked each other.

There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen.

So they kept it to themselves, but they often asked each other what he meant by“ rising from the dead.”

This amazed them. But Jesus said again,“ Dear children, it is very hard to enter the Kingdom of God.In fact, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”The disciples were astounded.“ Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked.

The Jewish leaders were puzzled by this statement.“ Where is he planning to go?” they asked.“ Is he thinking of leaving the country and going to the Jews in other lands? Maybe he will even teach the Greeks!What does he mean when he says,‘ You will search for me but not find me,’ and‘ You cannot go where I am going’?”

Then Jesus said to his disciples,“ I tell you the truth, it is very hard for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.I’ll say it again— it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!”The disciples were astounded.“ Then who in the world can be saved?” they asked.

But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.
