Read this first: James 5:5
Jesus said that ancient Israel's last days would be horrible (Mat 24:15-28). And so they were, as the Romans ransacked Jerusalem in AD 70. James, knowing this is coming soon, warns his fellow Jews that greed is not just wicked but stupid: like fattening yourself for slaughter. Love of money can blind us to the reality of what's happening around us. Don't let it do that.
Based on the sermon “Rotten wealth”
