Warnings
Jesus continues to highlight the issue of money in the context of discipleship. The good news is a warning against finding happiness in earthly treasures. They lead our hearts away from a abundant, everlasting relationship with God. Jesus warns his listeners – then and now – to respond to his message before it is too late. The final parable in the chapter is a sober reminder. Judgment is real and hell is filled with anguish and regret.
