How Money Makes Us Fools
Tim Keller | November 16, 1997
Overview
Jesus addresses a crowd with some things he wants them to hear, but he also gives them some things he wants them to overhear.
Jesus wants the crowd to overhear him talking to his disciples about their money. And I’ve begun to realize that one of the main ways you will come to know and understand who Jesus is and what he’s done is if you see him talking to his disciples about their money.
If you’re not sure what you believe, Jesus is not asking for your money. But if you want to understand him, you need to hear what he says to his disciples. This passage shows us three r’s: 1) a request, 2) a refusal, and 3) a rebuke.
