Of His words recorded in the Bible, Jesus has more to say on money than any other topic. Luke 12 offers a good summary of His attitude. He does not condemn possessions, but He warns against putting faith in money to secure the future. Money fails to solve life’s biggest problems. Although Jesus speaks to many aspects about money, He seems to concentrate on the question:What
is money doing to you?
Money
can dominate a person’s life, diverting attention away from God. Jesus challenges us to break free of money’s power—even if it means giving it all away.   Jesus
urges His listeners to seek treasure in the kingdom of God, for such
treasure can benefit them in this life and the next one too. “Do not worry,”
He says (v.22), for God is the one who provides for our needs.
And then to emphasize His point, He brings up King Solomon, the richest man in the Old Testament. Jesus said that a common wildflower is clothed more gloriously by God than a royal king. So do not have an anxious mind (vv.27-29), “but seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you” (v.31). |

Better
to trust in the God who lavishes care on the whole earth than to spend
our lives worrying about money and possessions.

📖 SERIE BÍBLICA COMPLETA: 🌾 SEMANA 1: Dios el Creador, el Origen del Hombre y la Promesa Propósito: Comprender que Dios es un Dios de orden, que nos dio dignidad al crearnos y que, aunque el pecado trajo espinos, Él siempre tiene un plan de redención. 1. Dios pone orden en medio del caos Cita Bíblica (Génesis 1:1–3): "En el principio creó Dios los cielos y la tierra. Y la tierra estaba desordenada y vacía, y las tinieblas estaban sobre la faz del abismo, y el Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la faz de las aguas. Y dijo Dios: Sea la luz; y fue la luz." Ejemplo Bíblico: Dios no destruyó la tierra vacía; pronunció su Palabra y fue separando la luz de las tinieblas y el agua de la tierra seca hasta dejar un mundo hermoso. Ejemplo Práctico para Hoy: Pensemos en un terreno cubierto de maleza, piedras y charcos. A simple vista parece inservible, pero el agricultor no lo abandona: lo limpia, lo ara y lo prepara. Hoy en día, hay familias donde hay pleitos, deudas o tristeza en el co...
