Luke 12-14

In Luke 12:15 Jesus makes this powerful statement; "..one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions." There is a tendency to measure who we are or how important we must be by counting our possessions. Jesus followed this pronouncement with the parable of the man who saved only for himself. We must always be on guard for the growth of greed in our hearts. That is not only seen in our desire to have more. It is also seen in our view of those who have less. Do we judge them lazy, or stupid, or worthless? Those attitudes are also the fruit of greed.
