- Jesus himself led a simple life. In fact, he told the rich to give their money away, and a tax-collector like Zacchaeus repaid what he took four-fold 2. This doesn’t paint a picture of overflowing wealth; rather, it suggests that Jesus and his disciples focused on utilizing their resources for their mission and helping others.

The common statistic given to show how much Jesus emphasized money is that 11 of the 39 parables talk about money. To add emphasis sometimes it’s pointed out that 1 out of every 7 verses of Jesus’ words talk about money. Those are both true. BUT those stats don’t tell the whole story. Jesus did talk a lot about money, there’s no debating that. Howe...
Depending on how you want to count it, remember you can make statistics say almost anything. This is the most common topic in Jesus’ teaching.

If I could sum up Jesus’ message it would be the Kingdom of God is at hand, AND I’ve made a way for you to enter. That’s the Gospel message. That all who believe can be a par...
I thought I’d include one more topic that Jesus regularly talked about. He didn’t mention it as much as the previous ones, but he certainly did spend a lot of time talking about it.

May 23, 2024 · Jesus taught, particularly through his frequent illustrations of stewards (Matthew 25:14-30; Luke 16:1-13) and farming (Matthew 13:8, 23; John 4:34-38), that it is appropriate, and even expected...

May 19, 2015 · The Bible, just like Jesus, has a lot to say about money. What can we learn from Jesus and from Scripture about money?
