maw to another, imposed upon, fleeced again and again, than to win riches at the expense of that tender, holy, rich love nature that leads to the eternal joy that is independent of time and space.
But it is possible to keep the lamb quality and receive all the power and the substance that are now owned and exploited by the wolves. Jesus has shown the way; and by the aid of the Holy Spirit one may gather all His teachings about prosperity, and the records of His deeds that relate especially to the way to succeed, and use this masterly key for opening the door to the kingdom of eternal wealth.
JESUS TEACHES BUSINESS METHODS
Jesus did not despise either money or business. In Judas He appointed a treasurer for the apostles. He taught them to “gather up the broken pieces which remain over, that nothing be lost.” He taught them not to be slack.
But He inculcated a new value sense. He told the money-loving Pharisees that “that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
“For what is man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose or forfeit his own self?” He said if he lose “his own self” like Alexander, who at the age of thirty had conquered the whole world and yet died in a drinking bout.
He paid tribute to Caesar and to the synagogue.
