Referencing the first paragraph at the top of the article, Matthew 25:29

“For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him”. (Matthew 25:29)

Another way of interpreting this could be:

Our thoughts determine the reality we experience…literally!

Hello, Ms. Tverberg. I bought your book (Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus) a couple of years ago but did not get to read it through. As a teacher, I’m on my summer break now and I had just picked it up again thinking I could read it through in one sitting. Wrong! I might have to read it along with another, easier book, LOL!

Thank you for the insights you share about “sticky” Scripture. The example of mastering the multiplication tables resonates with me as a teacher of elementary children. It is a good learning principle – the more you know, the more you learn.

I pray that I will be a better scholar of Scripture too, but more importantly, that I would act on it and allow the Spirit to continually transform my heart and mind to be like Rabbi Jesus.

I just rededicated my life to Christ and I read the word of GOD more daily than I ever had. This passage I could not understand but GOD bless you for helping me understand. This whole page was very informative. I only hope I could come to this page more when I am studying the word and get stumped. Thanks again.

This is a great article. It’s clear it’s not about having more money/things that gets you more, it’s clearly about being responsible with what you have gets you more. That’s been clear in these economic times with so many losing everything by being over their heads in debt. The desire for wealth and the age of entitlement you refer to is what get people into trouble. I belive that giving some of what we have away is also a part of being responsible with what we have as well. What goes around comes around, eh? (That’s Canadian for “right?”)

Thank you for this explanation of Matt 25-29. I have always felt discomfort at reading this passage. My mindset is often within the confines of our culture of competition. “If you can’t be a winner, we’ll find someone who can!”
Also, thanks for your contributions to the En-Gedi resource center. I had never thought of Jesus being Jewish until I began reading the many articles on the site. I can’t wait to read your book!

Your math example was excellent. If the basics of God’s Word are unknown, then the deeper things of God, built upon a firm foundation,can easily be misinterpreted and lead us astray. What a meaty comment!
