In the “Travel Narrative” of Luke’s gospel, Jesus invites his followers on a spiritual journey. That sounds very appealing. What’s not so appealing is the amount of time Jesus spends talking about money. And yet we worry about money all the time. Jesus is showing us that we can’t really follow him on this spiritual journey unless we get honest about the deep spiritual problem we have with money. In this passage, he helps us face the problem and provides the remedy.
