Reflection on Luke 16

Reflection on Luke 16

What do you value highly? What is the object you think is the "worthiest" thing you own?
Who is the person you live like is most worthy of all your time, all your attention and all your love?

Jesus is WORTH everything in God's sight.
Jesus is the MOST WORTHY person and the MOST WORTHY possession to be possessed by.

Do not allow your heart and mind to be possessed by the worldly things that keep us in bondage to money systems, making money, buying and selling to make money and be defined by our relationship with money.

Luke 16: 13-15
13 “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.”
14 The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus. 15 He said to them, “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight.


May we put all our worth in Jesus and see him for all he is worth. 
No one on earth is more worthy than Jesus and nothing in the universe is of comparable worth.

The world does not value Jesus or see him as MOST worthy and this is wrong because what people value highly is detestable in God's sight!

May we stop putting so much worth in what the world says is worthy...because what people value highly is detestable in God's sight!

The systems that primarily try to define people by how we look, how much we earn, where we live, how much we weigh and what we wear are all ways in which the world devalues what God has created. DO NOT live by the world's system of worth-iness, look at God's MOST worthy.
