Os ensinamentos de Jesus sobre generosidade e desapego material
/images/a/1194d8ce-4a16-49e9-1f6e-e32920b9a300)
Jesus nos ensinou que a verdadeira riqueza está em investir no Reino de Deus, não nos bens materiais. Obviamente, não estamos sendo literais, é claro que queremos que você tenha suas coisas e conquistas, mas saiba que isso é matéria, é mundando.
A riqueza que realmente engrandece sua alma, é àquela do Reino dos Céus, a riqueza da fé, do Amor de nosso Deus. Então tome cuidado com excessos, consumismo, materialismo… nada disso será bom para você, muito menos agradará a Deus.
Algumas sugestões de leitura sobre o assunto:
1. A parábola do rico insensato
Em Lucas 12:15-21, Jesus alerta contra a ganância, destacando que a vida não consiste na abundância de bens.
And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
And he spoke a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
And I will say to my soul, Soul, youi have much goods laid up for many years; take youri ease, eat, drink, [and] be merry.
But God-Theos said unto him, [youi] fool, this night youi soul shall be required of youi: then whose shall those things be, which youi have provided?
So [is] he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God-Theos.
2. "Mais bem-aventurado é dar que receber"
Atos 20:35 reforça que a generosidade é um ato de fé e obediência.
I have showed you all things, how that so labouring you2f ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation], how he said, It is more Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) to give than to receive.
3. O jovem rico como exemplo de desapego
Marcos 10:21,22 nos ensina que seguir a Cristo exige abrir mão do apego material.
Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing youi lack: go youri way, sell whatsoever youi have, and give to the poor, and youi shall have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the stake (cross), and follow me.
And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
