The Rich Man’s Worry about Tomorrow
Journal Title: Dialogo - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
In order to make the word of the Gospel fruitful, men must make their soul a ,,good soil” (Mathew 13:23). To do so, they must cleanse their soul and their mind of all preoccupations that are often destructive because they ,,choke the word making it unfruitful” (Mathew 13:22). First of all, the believer must choose on single Master to serve, his entire life, because ,,you cannot serve both God and money” (Mathew 6:24), then he must seek ,,his kingdom and his righteousness” (Mathew 6:33), and ,,all (material things he would have worried about before), these things will be given to you as well” (Mathew 6:33), as a gift, meaning on top of everything, meaning along God’s kingdom. Thus we find out from the Gospel of Mathew that the poor and the needy, through ,,the worry about this world” experience the ,,fear of poverty”; just as the rich experience the ,,deceit of wealth” (Mathew 13:22) the ,,fear of the one close by”, which, in situations of ,,overpopulation” can get to ask for, or even steal the rich man’s wealth, obviously only to survive.
