INVESTMENT ADVICE

In a culture obsessed with acquisition and accumulations, one can hardly imagine a more radical, countercultural act than simply giving something away.

But Jesus said, “ Sell your possessions and give to those in need. This will store treasure for you in heaven! And the purses of in heaven never get old or develop holes. Your treasure will be safe; nor thief can steal it, and not moth can destroy it. Wherever your treasure is, there the desire of your heart will also be ”. (Luke 12:33,34.)


Jesus calls us to invest our lives in things that will last. And naturally, our lives will be focused on where we invest our energy, time, and money. Jesus recognized the double effect: We invest in what we believe in, and we believe in what we invest in.


Jesus made the distinction between His way and consumerism: “ No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; You will be devoted to one despite the other. You cannot serve both God and Money ”. (Luke 16:13)



In contrast with such defeating and destructive obsession, there is certain simplicity, assurance, and essential goodness to the investment advice of Jesus: Invest your life in something that will last forever.
