Jesus came to tell us that God wants so much more for us than simply more stuff. God wants life and love and mercy and community for us. The problem isn’t our money or our stuff, but our desire to look to it rather than to God and each other for life. Maybe all that’s needed is for us to recognize that even our hard-earned, well-earned, and self-earned wealth comes from God and belongs to God. And when we do this, rather than looking inward we look upward – then God’s priorities become our priorities.
