On Prosperity…
In the well known passage in Mark 12, Jesus says this:
“I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.”
Obviously Jesus was admiring the attitude and faith of the poor widow. Why then do so many Christians spend their whole lives trying to attain the status of the wealthy?
Is it not “good enough” to live up to the ideals that Jesus valued?
