“Greed is a particularly dangerous sin because it hides in our hearts while binding us to our materialistic desires. Money has tremendous power over us: for some it is our significance, for others it is our security. We can break free from our slavery to money by treasuring Jesus, who was willing to pay the ultimate price so that we may be his ultimate treasure.”
Tim Keller in a sermon entitled “Treasure vs. Money” delivered on 2 May 1999.
Many think the way to get free from the power of money is giving. I think that’s part of it. I think we must also treasure Jesus. When we let go of money and take hold of Jesus we start to realize that we have all we will ever need, the ultimate treasure.
