What does Luke 18:26-27 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The Jews viewed wealth as a sign of God"s blessing since God had blessed many of the most godly in the past with riches (e.g, Abraham, Job , Joseph, David, et al.). The idea that riches really could hinder a person entering the kingdom rather than paving the way for his acceptance shocked them. Apparently Jesus meant that no one, even the rich, could enter the kingdom. Entrance is impossible from the human viewpoint, but God can produce repentance and faith in the heart of anyone, even the rich (cf. Luke 1:37; Genesis 18:14). Being "saved" ( Luke 18:26) in this context means being delivered into the kingdom.
