Matthew 6:19-34:
Worldly possessions:
- Jesus taught his followers not to
lay their treasures on earth where moth consumes and robbers steal, - They
should lay their treasure in heaven where it would be safe. - For
where your treasure is, there will your heart be also, - Jesus also
said that the eye is the lamp of the body; thus if the eye is sound, the whole
body would be full of light, - If the eye is not sound, the whole body would
be full of darkness, - Thus if the light in the body is darkened,
then, the darkness is great, - “No one can serve two
masters” said Jesus; for either he would hate one and love the other, - Or he will be devoted to one and despise the other,
- Jesus then
concluded by saying that no one can serve God and mammon.
Anxiety:
- Jesus taught that people should not be anxious about life; what to eat or
drink, - Or about their body, what they shall put on.
- According
to Jesus, life is more than food and the body is more than clothing, - He
also said that birds neither sow nor reap or gather, but are fed by God. - Human beings, according to Jesus are of more value than birds,
- Jesus then
asked, which of them, by being anxious can add a cubic to his stature? - He wondered why they should be anxious about clothing,
- The
lilies do not toil or spin, but are better arrayed than Solomon, - God
who clothes the grass will clothe them, - Jesus asked-them to seek God’s
kingdom and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto them.
Consequences of the misuse of wealth:
- Earthly wealth is synonymous with mammon, thus if misused, it can
lead to extreme poverty, - Lack of concern for others and the nation
doing evil, - Pride and arrogance.
- Worship of materialism/worldIiness,
- Widening of gap between the rich and the poor,
- Oppression of the poor by the rich/greedy,
- National underdevelopment,
famine, scarcity, - Crisis and war.
- Anger of God.
