Did you know that Jesus talked about money more than any other subject? 11 out of 39 parables are about money.
One of every 7 verses in the Gospel of Luke are about money. He talked about money more than faith and prayer combined.
After the Kingdom of God, money was Jesus' favorite topic. And if you believe that,
I have a bridge to sell you. It's a common myth and megachurch pastors love to repeat it. But no, money was not
Jesus' favorite subject. Sometimes Jesus used money as an illustration for something else, like in the parable of the talents or the parable of the lost coin.
That doesn't mean the subject he was addressing was money. If you were to list the subjects Jesus talked about most,
God is at the top of the list. That seems kind of obvious now that you think about it, right? Next, he talked a lot about the
Kingdom of God and heaven. He also talked a lot about hell, warning about the final judgment and eternal fire.
In fact, no one in the Bible talked about hell more than Jesus did. Jesus made many references to himself as the
Son of Man, Son of God, the Good Shepherd, his death and resurrection, his return, his word, and so on.
He talked about sharing the Gospel and making disciples. Other big topics include faith, prayer, love, and good works, salvation, holiness, sin, and the
Old Testament scriptures. And somewhere down the list, Jesus talked about money. It's certainly an important topic, but it was not
Jesus' favorite subject. Only by faith in Jesus Christ can you be forgiven your sin and have fellowship with God.
