Description

Greed is portrayed through a tense, hollow-eyed man clutching a money bag while coins spill across the table before an open strongbox. His guarded posture, anxious gaze, and grasping hands turn wealth into a visible master rather than a servant. The sacks and safe behind him frame the scene as a warning against hoarding, covetousness, and the false security of possessions.

For Christian teaching, the image speaks to Jesus’ warning: “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness.” It echoes the parable of the rich fool, where stored abundance cannot save a soul unprepared before God. The subject is suited for sermons, Bible studies, and ministry resources on greed, stewardship, idolatry, contentment, and treasure in heaven.

Scriptures	1 Timothy 6:10 Hebrews 13:5 Luke 12:15-21 Matthew 6:19-21 Hebrews 13 5 Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Luke 12 15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 16 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.’ 20 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ 21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.” Matthew 6 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
