In this particular instance, Jesus compares money to God. This is because money is the only thing that cat take the place on the throne of our hearts in the same way that God can. The love of money is the ultimate expression of self centered-ness. It is all about what can I buy or what can I do (as in how much power do I have). There is nothing wrong with having money but it needs to be well recognized that your dependence and trust is not in money but in God. Money is a tool that is made to serve people. When people become servants of money this is backwards of how it is supposed to be and it happens all the time. We must be careful about how we look at money. The best way that we can prove that we are not servants of money but instead servants of God is to give our money and use it to build Gods Kingdom, not ours. Radical giving is what we as Christians are called to. A very good book on this subject is crazy love by Francis Chan.
