HE TEACHES ON WORRY

Luke 12:22-34

 

Key Concept:

We need not worry because God takes care of us and provides for our needs.

After teaching His disciples about prayer, which included a request to God for daily bread, Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for their pride, hypocrisy, persecution, and greed. He then was drawn into a conversation on money by a man who had an issue with his brother over their family inheritance. In response, Jesus taught a parable that warned against storing up treasure for yourself here on earth and not being "rich toward God" (12:21). He then added to this conclusion for His disciples, cautioning them not to worry about their needs in life but to entrust them to God while seeking His kingdom.

As you examine Luke 12:22-34:

 

✞   Identify the reasons Jesus commanded us not to worry about our daily needs.

✞   Reflect on the fact that as kingdom people, we invest in eternal treasures.
