Any way you interpret this passage, the message Christ challenges every man and woman up to this day with is this: IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO LEAVE EVERYTHING BEHIND TO FOLLOW ME...YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF ENTERING THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. Christ touched on this same theme when he said he did not COME INTO THE WORLD TO BRING PEACE, BUT TO SEPERATE MOTHER FROM DAUGHTER, AND TURN SON AGAINST FATHER, AND HUSBAND AGAINST WIFE ETC. ETC.
The ultimate message is clear,..AND IT IS VERY HARD TEACHING for some...who deep down have their treasures stored up here on this earth in everything from their grandchild to their profession to their savings account and their sex life...CHRIST REPEATEDLY EMPHASIZED THE SAME THEME: HE WHO FINDS HIS LIFE WILL LOSE IT, AND HE WHO LOSES HIS LIFE...WILL FIND IT...meaning...when you've lost or given up EVERYTHING you love in your heart about this wicked, temporary, passing world...YOU ARE TRULY ON THE RIGHT PATH. Until each of us is prepared to sacrafice absolutely ALL for our Christianity...we have much to work on.

The Greek words for "camel" and "rope" differ by one letter: Kamelon vs Kamilon (you can change the font to "symbol" to see what those look like in Greek.) All of the oldest manuscripts have "camel".
