Jesus followed a long line of prophets from God who warned against the mysteriously idolatrous power of money and possessions. He prohibited His followers from putting their trust and security in material, 'earthly' things, and instructed His followers to invest in what would last for eternity. We cannot serve two masters\kings or kingdoms. We have to choose who we serve, where we invest our hearts. The choice is ours who and what we will serve. What will your choice be?
God as Generous Host - Sermon on the Mount #17
Jesus calls us to have no other master but God. And after doing so, Jesus immediately reminds us that God is a generous host\Creator. We can entrust ourselves to seeking God above all other concerns because we can trust in His generosity towards us to meet our needs.
