"In the same way, any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple."
How many Christians can truly call themselves followers of Christ. Let's face it, they earn money and consume and consume and want more and more. They clearly are not following what Jesus said.
Even by Luke
Luke 19
8But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."
9Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."
Christians should give up half of what they have and need no more or the path to salvation is lost. How many Christians pay the bills and then give the rest away? None I bet. How many hvave paid back 4 times to those they
I eagerly await the human interpretation of this to fit capitalism and consumerism!!
