Bible Question: what is the Greek meaning for the word wealth is it material- or spiritual wealth do we prosper in spirit or natural. I can't find any place where Jesus measured things in the natural, money, This can be a misleading statement by people thats why I want to clarify the matter. |
Bible Answer: Greetings and welcome to the Forum. I was just reflecting upon the parable of the talents and although most would receive this as a message on financial stewardship, I believe it has to do with the greatest Treasure of all - Jesus Christ. You see, God gave Jesus for everyone. Each of us has the capacity for faith. What we do with Jesus determines our destiny, just as shown in this parable. The one who did nothing with Him, lost everything. Since material wealth is temporary, why would the Eternal Lord use this kind of measure? I suspect that the reason Jesus used the "talent" as an object lesson was for His hearers to understand value and apply it to God's standard of true "riches". Another passage to see: "Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of unrighteous wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you? Luke 16:11 Blessisngs, mommapbs |
