What do you do when you have to ask an embarrassing or awkward question, or a question you feel you should know the answer to? Why, you ask the question and simply say that you are “asking for a friend!” The next several weeks, we will follow Jesus as he journeys toward his work of saving us in Jerusalem. As he does, we will watch and listen and learn from our Savior the answer to questions we have or questions we’ve been asked. Questions like, “Is God good?” “Does God care?” and “Do I have to be humble?” Next to the attachment to hearth and home, a person’s chief attachment is to his purse, to their material possessions. So it is not out of order to consider what God has to say about his gifts of wealth and to let him put those gifts in a proper context for us.
