Jesus said, “Why do you ask me about what is good? There’s only one who is good. If you want to enter eternal life, keep the commandments.” The man said, “Which ones?” Then Jesus said, “ Don’t commit murder. Don’t commit adultery. Don’t steal. Don’t give false testimony . Honor your father and mother, and love your neighbor as you love yourself .” The young man replied, “I’ve kept all these. What am I still missing?” Jesus said, “If you want to be complete, go, sell what you own, and give the money to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven. And come follow me.” But when the young man heard this, he went away saddened, because he had many possessions. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “I assure you that it will be very hard for a rich person to enter the kingdom of heaven. In fact, it’s easier for a camel to squeeze through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter God’s kingdom.”

Yes, even Jesus talked a lot about money. I think it’s because He knows what a touchy and even confusing topic it is for many of us. In this plan, we look at three somewhat surprising things Jesus said about money to see what we can learn.
We all have things we treasure like relationships, possessions, and achievements. And while these things bring us satisfaction and joy, the orientation of our lives around these things alone can leave us craving something deeper—ultimate fulfillment. Let’s discover what scripture has to say about the pursuit of treasure and what ultimately can satisfy our desires, both now and into eternity.
The world is full of good and beautiful things: breathtaking creation, delicious food, exciting adventures, and kind-hearted people. Scripture reminds us that God delights in giving good and perfect gifts to his children, and yet, how often do we settle for partial goodness instead of the fullness God has to offer? In this reading plan, let’s discover what Scripture has to say about the temptation we all face to try and satisfy ourselves with God’s good gifts instead of God himself.
