CHAPTER XXI
12/38

Men's wills are too weak.

Their bodies are lapped in luxury, yet scorn of the soul leaves them a prey to fear.

Yes, My friends, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye than for a rich man to enter our heaven." The word was spoken more in sorrow than in anger.

And then someone ventured to say: "Yes, if the commandments are too hard, there must be sin.

Men are bound to transgress them." Jesus looked at the trembler: "Why, then, am I come?
Why, then, do I show you how light the burden is?
Do you not see for yourselves how free a man is when he has thrown off great cares and desires?
Nay, you will never see that till the grace of God is given you." They scarcely heard what He said.
