天上的财富。

路加福音12章13-21节
13 众人中有一个人对耶稣说，夫子，请你吩咐我的兄长和我分开家业。
Someone in the crowd said to him, 'Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.'

14 耶稣说，你这个人，谁立我作你们断事的官，给你们分家业呢？
Jesus replied, 'Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbiter between you?'

15 于是对众人说，你们要谨慎自守，免去一切的贪心。因为人的生命，不在乎家道丰富。
Then he said to them, 'Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.'

16 就用比喻对他们说，有一个财主，田产丰盛。
And he told them this parable: 'The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop.

17 自己心里思想说，我的出产没有地方收藏，怎么办呢？
He thought to himself, `What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.'

18 又说，我要这么办。要把我的仓房拆了，另盖更大的。在那里好收藏我一切的粮食和财物。
'Then he said, `This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.

19 然后要对我的灵魂说，灵魂哪，你有许多财物积存，可作多年的费用。只管安安逸逸的吃喝快乐吧。
And I'll say to myself, 'You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry.''

20 神却对他说，无知的人哪，今夜必要你的灵魂。你所预备的，要归谁呢？
'But God said to him, `You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?'

21 凡为自己积财，在神面前却不富足的，也是这样。
'This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himself but is not rich toward God.'

今天在参加的葬礼上，牧师用了这段经节来分享，巧的事，早晨灵修的经节也是这段。
所有在世的财富都是短暂的，生不带来，死不带走，所以何必执著呢？？
应当抬头仰望天上的财富吧。
应当人在银行，钱在天堂，而不是人在天堂，钱在银行。。
更该在乎的不是这属世的，而是当我们归天家是上帝的奖赏。。


灵修金句：因为所见的是暂时的，所不见是永恒的。 -哥林多后书4章18节。
生命远远超乎那些我们所积存的东西。
