Matthew 6:19-24
The Revolution Jesus is leading us into has to work its way into our
systems of valuing - exposing what we treasure.
Jesus presses this issue because He is fully aware of the duality resulting
from trying to live in both Kingdoms - of Mammon and of God - at the same
time. The result will be crippling anxiety and paralyzing worry. So… His
solution is to choose relentless focus on the Kingdom of God and to let
that choice inform our attitudes and behaviors around money, time, and
other measures of value.
