Money and the issues of Greed are two topics that Jesus spoke of regularly throughout his ministry. However, due to the capitalist society we live in, facing our own greed and dependence on money is often extremely difficult. We have been taught that it is good to want and to obtain the latest and greatest items and we often miss the ways that our society’s focus on buying and selling distracts us from Jesus’ hope for our life.
