Exodus 15, Luke 18, Job 33, 2 Corinthians 3
I don't think I've ever put much thought into Luke 18:18-30. Jesus tells a wealthy man to sell his belongings and give it to the poor if he is to have treasure in heaven. I thought Jesus referred to a sacrificial lifestyle but in actuality it makes as just sense that Jesus told the rich man this not be charitable but rather as a result he may ever be so more dependant on God. If he strips away his self confidence, trusting and confiding in God, his treasure would be in heaven rather than on earth.
