He Who Made Money.
Money, money - a seemingly innocuous entity, yet the root cause of the chaos that grips our world. On the surface, it's a harmless medium of exchange. But the relentless pursuit of it has unleashed a torrent of destructive behaviors, leaving in its wake a trail of devastation.
People will stop at nothing to accumulate wealth, committing unspeakable acts that defy explanation. Murder, trafficking, immorality, environmental degradation, robbery, and theft - the list goes on. The desire for wealth has become an all-consuming fire that burns away empathy, compassion, and reason.
As Lucky Dube so eloquently sang, we're indeed "living in a crazy world," where money reigns supreme. It's the unspoken ruler, the puppet master that pulls the strings from behind the scenes. Its influence is insidious, seeping into every aspect of our lives, dictating our actions, and shaping our decisions.
The constitution of this shadowy ruler has only one law - "get me at all cost." It's a law that is blindly obeyed, without question or conscience. The consequences are stark - a world where the haves, lord over the have-nots, where the pursuit of wealth supersedes the value of human life.
Amidst the chaos, a glimmer of hope shines through. Jesus Christ illuminates a different path, one that prioritizes empathy over greed, compassion over cruelty, and the well-being of our planet over the relentless pursuit of wealth. In a world consumed by the love of money, Jesus' teachings offer a transformative alternative.
By embracing His message, we can break free from the shackles of materialism and embrace a lifestyle that values the dignity of every human life, the beauty of creation, and the importance of living in harmony with our planet. May we choose to follow this path, cultivating a world that reflects the love, grace, and redemption that Jesus embodies.
