Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Make money-bags for yourselves that won’t grow old, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
Luke 12:33
Many who heard Jesus were likely fairly poor themselves. However, He had among His followers some who were well off as well.
The purpose here is not the redistribution of wealth. Jesus was not teaching an economic philosophy. He was teaching a heavenly focus. Riches here are transitory. But building the kingdom of God is a permanent investment.
Living one’s life just for the accumulation of physical wealth is a misuse of life. Living one’s life for the kingdom of heaven is a mission with the best future imaginable.
Heavenly Father, You are beautiful! You have made this world, and You know what potential it has. You will remake it, and You know why You have done all of this. Your wisdom and power are perfect and wonderful. Thank You for mercifully working in our lives! Thank You for Christ! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
