Reality Check
You probably have more money in your pocket then most of the people in the rest of the world have in their bank account
So what does this mean?
It means we’re at a serious disadvantage spiritually
Take a look at Luke 18:22
Here we see Jesus was talking with a rich man who wanted to go to heaven Jesus
said“One thing you still
lack. Sell all that you have and
distribute to the poor, and you will have treasure in
heaven.”
Luke 18:23-25
“But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich. Jesus seeing that he had become sad, said ‘how difficult it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!’”
Luke 18:25
“for it is easier for a camel to
go through they eye of a needle than for a rich
person to enter the kingdom of
God.”
Rich man = Fail
Skip over a couple Chapters to Luke 19:5
Jesus meets Zacchaeus (a rich tax collector)
“And when jesus
came to the place, he looked up and
said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry
and come down, for I must stay at your
house today.”
Luke 19:8
“And Zacchaeus stood and said to the Lord, ‘Behold, Lord the half of my goods I give to the poor, And if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I restore it
fourfold’.”
WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
What will you choose?
The trinkets of this world?
Or eternity?
