Scripture: Jeremiah 32:1-3a, 6-15 and Psalm 91:1-6, 14-16 • Amos 6:1a, 4-7 and Psalm 146 • 1 Timothy 6:6-19 • Luke 16:19-31
Jesus talked about money more than anything else, except for the kingdom of God, and even then he tells us that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than the rich to enter the kingdom of God.
We continue our lectionary study, in year C, of Jesus' stories about the rich and the poor. Our readings this week are "Poverty Reduction - of the Soul, the Parable of Dives [rich man] and Lazarus" by Daniel P. Clendenin, and Alyce M. McKenzie's "The Rich Man and Lazarus - Reflections on Luke 16:19-31."
Does Jesus have it out for the rich? What are we called to do with our "wealth," and what is our wealth? Is it our wealth?
