What can we learn from Yeshua’s involvement with money?

Mark 12:15, Bring me a denarius.Yeshua was totally disinterested with, unaffected by and uninvolved with money.  Money didn’t have a control over him in the least.

In fact, when people donated money to his ministry, there is no record that it even touched his hands. Someone else carried his money for him or handled his financial affairs (John 12:6; 13:9). 

Moreover, when Yeshua needed some money, even for illustration purposes, he wasn’t able just to whip a coin out of his pocket. Rather, he had to find a coin elsewhere. In this case, he asked someone in the crowd for a coin. When he needed to pay the temple tax, he found a coin in a fish’s mouth (Matt 17:24–27). 

What can we learn from our Savior’s attitude toward money?

Yeshua’s approach to money is rare among Bible-preaching ministers today. The lesson here is that those in the ministry should care nothing about money, nor should they be involved in ministry money matters. Others should handle the financial affairs of the ministry. A man (or woman) of Elohim should only be concerned about preaching the gospel.

  1. I love this Scripture Matt 22;21-Whose image was on the coin of tribute? Render unto God the things that belong to God-WHOSE image were we created in?

    • Good one, Carol. We belong to Him.
      However, YHVH respects our decisions and He won’t force anyone to love Him. I believe He will give plenty of opportunities to find the Truth, but He will eventually accept one’s decision to reject Him; how sad.
