JESUS, MONEY & ME

Описание: Jesus taught more about money than any other topic. He once asked his audience, ‘What does it profit someone to gain the whole world—and yet lose their own soul?”

People have always been closely connected to their money. In the past week, we have gone through a historic period for our generation. It seemed to many people this past week that they were on the verge of losing their whole world. Jesus said to gain the world and lose me, or:

Lose the World and Gain Christ

As we open to Luke 12 this morning, we are about to hear Jesus speak with absolute authority on money. We need to listen.

One of the financial world’s most respected news services, Bloomberg, tells us that in the past 12 months, Americans have lost $6 trillion dollars in real estate equity and over $8.3 trillion dollars in market equity. For the three hundred million of us who live in America, that translates into $20,000 per person in lost real estate values and $28,000 per person in lost stock market equity. That is the most money ever gained and lost in such a short time in modern history.

But one commodity has not changed; it has actually only become more precious by the day. God's Word points clearly to the only source of our hope in Christ.

The Bible reveals that:

• In uncertain times, we have an Immovable Rock.
• In fearful times, we have a Fortress and Refuge.
• When the world is shaking, the financial markets quaking, and our trusted assets seem so fleeting—we have an anchor that can keep our souls.

Someone taped this poem, extolling God's Word, in the back of an old Bible I found.

Read it to be wise. Believe it to be safe. Practice it to be holy.

This book contains light to direct you, fruit to sustain you, and comfort to cheer you.
