His gods were money and power, for I believe he assumed Jesus would set up an earthly Kingdom. It is also interesting that 30 pieces of silver was about the price of a slave in those days, and Jesus paid it all to free us from the slave market of sin.<br />I am sorry to hear of the flooding there -- severe weather in the US has also been deadly. May we store up our treasures in Heaven and not trust what we have accumulated on earth.<br />Thank you for the good wishes, and may you and Alex have all the best in 2016 and until He comes again!<br />LaurieLaurie Colletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676088158113572565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8901842915517693862.post-45348060492232880802015-12-27T11:59:34.108-08:002015-12-27T11:59:34.108-08:00Dear Laurie,

How was it that his love of money had shut him out of Heaven for all eternity?<br />I find all this to be a state of sorrow rather than of a cause for condemnation. In the news lately there have been reports of violence, yet again, at our stores here in the UK as bargain hunters compete against each other at the post-Christmas sales.<br />So utterly, utterly vain! Just as the headlines broadcasts images of severe floods over the North of England, with the contents of homes, businesses as well as vehicles destroyed, therefore causing a massive loss for many families.<br />It just goes to show how futile if our status hangs upon wealth and possessions. How greater riches awaits those who treasure is God himself.<br />An enlightening post. God bless.<br />P.S. I'll be back with a new posting next week. I hope you have had a happy Christmas, and Alex and I wish you a prosperous new year. Frank E. Blasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12218732913319387677noreply@blogger.com
