What Did Jesus Say About Money?
Jesus spoke often about money, not because He wanted ours, but because He knew where our hearts are prone to go.
“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”
Jesus, in Matthew 6:24 · King James Version (public domain)
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal”
Jesus, in Matthew 6:19-20 · King James Version (public domain)
“And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.”
Jesus, in Luke 12:15 · King James Version (public domain)
