Lk 12:8-34

• acknowledge Jesus before men -> will be acknowledged by Jesus before the angels of God;
• or else, then won't be;
• blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven;
• the Hole Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say when one is brought before the authority;
• be rich toward God, for we don't know when our life will end; it's pointless if we store up things for ourselves but our life is taken away;
• consider the ravens...
• v23: Life is more than food, and the body more than clothes;
• little flock
• v31: seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well;
• v33: Jesus to his disciples:
• sell your possessions and give to the poor
• what stern instruction that is; the same as he said to the rich young men;
• but this is said to his disciples (all of them and not someone in particular);
• not just sell all, but also give all to the poor; leaving nothing to one's self;
• what about our family? our children? don't they deserve some of our possessions, too?
• who can really do that?
• provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out; treasure in heaven;
• in the end, worldly wealth is nothing to God;
