Os ensinamentos de Jesus sobre generosidade e desapego material
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 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Take care and be shomer against all chamdanut (covetousness), because the Chayyei HaAdam does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach spoke a mashal (parable) to them saying, An aza (certain) oisher (rich man) had land that produced a good crop. And he was thinking to himself, saying, What should I do? Because I do not have a place where I will store my crops. And he said, This I will do. I will tear down my asim (granaries, storehouses) and I will build larger asim. And there I will gather all my grain and my produce. And I will say to my neshamah, Neshamah, you have an ample store of goods for many years to come. Take your ease, LEEKHOL, VLISHTOT, VLISHMOACH (to eat, and to drink, and to be merry). But Hashem said to him, Goilem! Halailah hazeh your nashamah is required of you. Now to whom will be given what you prepared? Such is the one hoarding up for himself and not having osher toward Hashem.
2. "Mais bem-aventurado é dar que receber"
Atos 20:35 reforça que a generosidade é um ato de fé e obediência.
In all this I was showing you a mofet (example) that thus working hard it is necessary to help the weak and to have zikaron of the devarim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Adoneinu Yehoshua, that he himself said, "Beser (better) to geben (give) than to nemen (take)."
3. O jovem rico como exemplo de desapego
Marcos 10:21,22 nos ensina que seguir a Cristo exige abrir mão do apego material.
And looking at him and having ahavah for his neshamah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to him, One thing you lack: go and sell all your possessions and give to the aniyim, and you will have otzar (treasure) in Shomayim; and come, follow me. But at the dvar HaMoshiach, his face turned gloomy and he departed with agmat nefesh (grief), for he had many possessions.
