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). |
