Be on your guard against all kinds of greed!

Luke 12:15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

One person was trying to have all parent’s inheritance, so his brother came and asked Jesus to tell his brother to share the inheritance with him. So Jesus mentioned a fundamental issue of life.

Jesus said “your life won’t be abundant just because you have a lot of money. So first you need to be on guard against all your greed.”

We need to work hard to fill all the physical needs. And we need to work hard to help others. And we need to work hard for the glory of the Lord.

However, at the same time, we shouldn’t forget that our true satisfaction is in Jesus. If we have greed in order to have safety from the materialistic things, we need to be on a active guard to it.

Shalom and God Bless!
