Re: How Did Jesus Get Money?
Alisa

Overall, Jesus' life exemplified a detachment from material wealth, focusing instead on spiritual richness. His teachings encourage followers to prioritize their relationship with God over financial gain. Scriptures describe Jesus as living simply and relying on the generosity of others, with supporters like Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Susanna providing for him and his disciples from their resources.
Jesus declared, “No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money” (Matthew 6:24).
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth... but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matthew 6:19-21).
“Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own” (Luke 12:15).
When a rich young ruler went away sad because Jesus told him to sell his possessions and give to the poor, Jesus remarked to His disciples, “Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:23).
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses the anxiety that so often surrounds money and provisions. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink... Look at the birds of the air... Are you not much more valuable than they?” (Matthew 6:25-26).
To those who would be His disciples, Jesus gave a radical command that strikes at the heart of materialism: “Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail” (Luke 12:33).
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil: which some reaching after have been led astray from the faith, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows. (1 Timothy 6:10)
Matthew 19:23-30
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”
25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”
26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Peter answered him, “We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?”
28 Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, at the renewal of all things, when the Son of Man sits on his glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29 And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 30 But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.
