He who is faithful in
what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least
is unjust also in much.
Therefore if you have not
been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true
riches?
And if you have not been
faithful in what is another man's, who will give you what is your own?
“No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”
Now the Pharisees, who
were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him.
And He
said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows
your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the
sight of God.
Our Lord and Saviour purchased
us from this world and we can dare be different.
This chapter focuses on money
but we know many things in this world can become our masters.
Let us look up to our Lord and
value what He values for what this world values will never be what He values.
