Needles and Knees, Matthew 19:23-24
Sep 11, 2023•15 min•Season 4Ep. 10
Episode description
After a week off, the geocachers return to put a Sunday School myth under scrutiny. You may have grown up with the story of the “needle gate” – a small gate in Jerusalem that camels had to get on their knees to enter. The homiletic fall out from this story is a lot of metaphors about wealth, putting off worldly baggage, etc. The issue being – there’s no such thing as a needle gate and never was. We discuss the historical context, the difficulty of camels crawling, and another of Rick’s trips to the Holy Land where he had firsthand camel experience.
