“Money is the root of all evil”
Money is a great influence in our lives. With money we buy food, water, electricity, and the machines which make life easier, carefree, and happy. However, money can be poison to your soul. When it’s gone, so are the things it can buy. Yet there is more to the hooks of money.
Money is a substance we go after like cheese on a trap for a mouse. With one quick instance the trap money lured us, can slam down; leaving us in peril, grief, and with great emotional distress.
Credit card companies know this. Like all other vices, money becomes addictive; and the perception of having future money causes people to over extend themselves, taking on credit debt which can go very wrong, very fast.
In today’s passage we are given insight by Matthew to an internal struggle which occurred among the disciples. For Judas allowed money to blur his vision of the truth.

the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted
after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through
with many sorrows.
