Jesus said, "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" (Matthew 19:24). Do you remember Christ's encounter with the rich young ruler that prompted these words of our Savior? The rich young ruler refused to empty his arms of his fortune, in order to embrace Christ by faith for his salvation (Mark 10:17-23). Subsequently, he went away from Christ grieved and empty-handed of eternal life, because he could not let go of his great possessions.

Our president, who on more than one occasion now, has publicly professed his belief in an unscriptural works salvation, has much more to empty his arms of, in order to embrace Christ by faith, than the rich young ruler ever dreamed of. Trump not only has to empty his arms of his fortune, but also of his fame, not only of his great possessions, but also of his great power, if he is to embrace Christ by faith as his personal Savior. Furthermore, Trump will have to humble himself, something that is definitely not his strong suet, if he is to ever kneel down before Christ and receive from Christ's nail-scarred hand a divine handout; namely, the gift of God, which is eternal life.

God's gift of eternal life cannot be earned by Donald Trump, despite the fact that Trump has everything the world has to offer. If it could be earned, eternal life would not be a gift, but a wage. According to the Bible: "The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 6:23). Our sins against God have earned us death and Hell, which we definitely deserve. However, thanks to Christ, who died on the cross in our place, not only paying our sin debt in full, but also suffering the punishment of all sinners of all time, you and I can receive what we certainly don't deserve nor could ever earn for ourselves; namely, eternal life and Heaven. All we must do, is what Donald Trump must do, swallow our pride, come humbly to Christ on our knees, reach out our hand by faith, and receive from Christ's gracious nail-scarred hand His unspeakable gift of eternal life (2 Corinthians 9:15). With all my heart, I pray, not only that Donald Trump will come to Christ, but that all politicians and all people everywhere, including you, will come to Christ as well. Empty your arms of all things and embrace Christ as your all in all today, before it is forever too late for you to do so.
