2 Cor 12:1-10 / Matthew 6:24-34
We often hear of these phrases “win-win situation” or “the best of both worlds”.
That sounds nice and appealing and we would try to achieve these ideals.
But in reality of life, sometimes we win, sometimes we lose.
Whether we win or whether we lose, it all happens in this one world, and there is no other world to talk about.
So in this world in which we will journey through only once, what is it that is important?
And if we believe in the next world, then what is it that can be carried on from this world to the next?
In the gospel, Jesus says that we cannot be the slave of masters. We cannot be the slave of both God and money.
Between God and money, there is no “win-win situation” or “the best of both worlds”.
But the reality is that there is nothing to win in this world.
In God we already have everything we need in this world, because He already provided everything for us.
With God, we will rise from the worries of this world.
And with God, we will have a tomorrow in the eternal world.
