When Worry Takes the Wheel: Greedy for the Things Others Need
from Manna and Coffee · host Henry Holub
In Luke 12, the parable of the Rich man is sandwiched between two teachings of Jesus on greed and worry. This is not accidental. The words “Don’t chase after what you will eat and what you will drink” inform us that when Jesus speaks of worry here, he has in mind the type of worry that hijacks our consciousness of others, causes us to store up for ourselves instead of caring for others. In that way, worry is its own type of greed. In a nation of storage buildings, we probably know more as much or more about storing up than we do sharing, and this passage should give us pause as to how we function in the world.
