Comments on: For the Love of Money http://wordsnack.com/2006/02/15/for-the-love-of-money/ Bite-sized ponderings on the Word and words in general.

He was trusted with the money which suggests (to me) that he wasn't always like this (or else why would they have entrsuted him with the funds!) What's more he was chosen by Jesus as a disciple ... somehow the love of money crept in ... and I suspect it was also because Jesus wasn't living up to his expectations of the Messiah. The zealots of the day expected a political leader not a mild king of majesty, who'd suffer. I think we can be guilty of that today too. best wishes with the site - keep feeding us snack sized chunks of the Word of God. We need it This is a great looking site :)
