Scripture: Luke 12:1 & 13-31
Dear Church,
Two brothers came to Jesus desperate for his help. And after listening to their plea, he said:
No.
No way, I’m not helping you.
I don’t want anything to do with this.
Can you imagine? Having a problem and turning to Jesus and then watching him turn away? What in the world could have inspired our gentle and compassionate savior to be so…harsh?
Money.
They were fighting over their inheritance and Jesus didn’t want any part of it. He refused to intervene. Instead he told a story about the danger of wealth.
Our definition of a bad economy and Jesus’ definition of a bad economy are not the same. In the Lord’s eyes, having too much money is far more dangerous than having too little.
Peace,
Pastor Kate
