Just about all of us struggle with believing that if we just had a little more, then we'd really experience the good life. If I just had a nicer house ... If I could afford to go on vacations like that ... If I could buy ... If I ____ you fill in the blank. Have you ever felt that way? I know I have.
Now let me be clear about one thing right up front: wanting nice things is not bad. Poverty is not more spiritual!
But putting our faith in money and stuff to give us the good life, however, is a problem. A real problem that more than likely we all have wrestled with, especially those of us who live in places like the USA.
Which is why this episode is so important. In it, we get to listen to Jesus' assessment of money and stuff and where He believes we should focus our energies for experiencing the good life.
