What Jesus is implying is that the more satiated we become—the more filled with stuff, money, status, privilege, and self-importance—the less prepared we are to engage with the Kingdom of God.
The poor are in a great place to seek the Kingdom, for there is little to distract them.

I'm a runner, writer, thinker, and pastor. I love to agitate people's consciences. I like to spend my time reading, running, and relaxing with family & friends.
