Good Times Christmas is a good time for Giving

Let me ask you a question, Why did Jesus talk so much about money and possession?

Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be. - Matthew 6:21

I think the reason Jesus spent more time talking about money is that he knows it's the number one competitor for our heart, time, and attention.

Luke 16:13 (NLT): No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. Listen to how Jesus concludes this subject

You cannot serve both God and money."

See, Jesus teaches this, the number one competition for your heart that Jesus faces, is our stuff. The number one competitor for our attention and our heart as far as God is concern is not somebody; it's our money and our stuff. Jesus knows it's the number one competitor for our heart, time, and attention.

Luke 16:1-9 (NLT): Jesus told this story to his disciples: "A rich man hired a manager to handle his affairs, but soon a rumor went around that the manager was thoroughly dishonest. 2 So his employer called him in and said, 'What's this I hear about your stealing from me? Get your report in order, because you are going to be dismissed. 3 "The manager thought to himself, 'Now what? I'm through here, and I don't have the strength to go out and dig ditches, and I'm too proud to beg.

4 I know just the thing! And then I'll have plenty of friends to take care of me when I leave!' 5 "So he invited each person who owed money to his employer to come and discuss the situation. He asked the first one, 'How much do you owe him?' 6 The man replied, 'I owe him eight hundred gallons of olive oil.' So the manager told him, 'Tear up that bill and write another one for four hundred gallons.

7 " 'And how much do you owe my employer?' he asked the next man. 'A thousand bushels of wheat,' was the reply. 'Here,' the manager said, 'take your bill and replace it with one for only eight hundred bushels. 8 "The rich man had to admire the dishonest rascal for being so shrewd. And it is true that the citizens of this world are more shrewd than the godly are. 9 I tell you, use your worldly resources to benefit others and make friends. In this way, your generosity stores up a reward for you in heaven.

See, what I notice here is that Jesus is letting the people who are listening know that when it comes to money and possessions it's just a tool for God to use to further bring people into eternity. So, what vehicle does God use to do that in the 21st Century?
