这段讲道探讨了耶稣关于金钱的教导，以及金钱如何使人对属灵的现实视而不见。讲道人指出，耶稣多次谈论金钱，这表明金钱在属灵生活中扮演着重要的角色。他认为，给予是基督教信仰的核心，缺乏给予反映了缺乏信心、希望和爱。真正的给予源于内心的改变，而不是单纯的物质奉献。金钱使人成为愚昧的人，因为它使人对属灵的现实视而不见，并使人对属灵现实的原则视而不见，因为世俗的价值观与属灵的价值观相冲突。属灵领域的进步原则与世俗的原则相反，即舍弃而不是积累。耶稣的十字架是世俗眼中的愚昧，却是属灵力量的体现。基督教的救赎在于舍弃而不是积累，与世俗的价值观相反。要克服金钱的束缚，需要成为属灵上富有的人。真正的属灵财富在于对世俗财富的超脱。仅仅捐献十分之一是不够的，还需要有内心的热情和对上帝的爱。

Shownotes Transcript

Jesus addresses a crowd with some things he wants them to hear, but he also gives them some things he wants them to overhear.

Jesus wants the crowd to overhear him talking to his disciples about their money. And I’ve begun to realize that one of the main ways you will come to know and understand who Jesus is and what he’s done is if you see him talking to his disciples about their money. 

If you’re not sure what you believe, Jesus is not asking for your money. But if you want to understand him, you need to hear what he says to his disciples. This passage shows us three r’s: 1) a request, 2) a refusal, and 3) a rebuke. 

This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on November 16, 1997. Series: Stewardship, Generosity and Money. Scripture: Luke 12:13-21.
