What would Jesus recycle?

The scripture for today's question is Matthew 6: 25-34.
There are several questions to consider when applying this to our modern life.
What is jesus saying in these verses about our priorities in life?
Many people say we should live simply. What does that mean with regards to how we use the earth's resources?

Jesus says that many people worry about what they eat
and drink, what their body looks like, and what they
wear. Do you know people like this? Are you like this?
Why do you think people can be like this?
• What does a follower of Jesus Christ care about when
it comes to buying clothes or food?
• What are some normal cultural comforts that you use
that are not so good for the earth or for other people
in the world? What are some product choices or food
choices that you have made in order to be a good ecosteward?
• This passage says that God takes care of the birds and
flowers. Is God still caring for nature, or has God given
up, or have humans overwhelmed God, or what?
• If, as Jesus says, we are of more value than birds and
flowers, can we trust that God will fix the environmental
problems of our world?
• If you really trust God, as this passage also urges, why
should you do anything to conserve?
• Some people might think that verse 34 tells them not
to worry about how creation will be taken care of in
the coming generations. What do you think this verse
means?
Express
Use the following questions to help the young people
express what they’ve learned. Also, consider discussing the
questions from Engage again to see if anyone has any new
perspectives after exploring the Bible passages.
• How many of your friends and family members
regularly recycle as many items as possible?
• Is recycling a regular part of your lifestyle? Why or
why not?
• Do you consider recycling an “eco-mandment” (an
ecological commandment we learn from the values
expressed in the Bible) or just something extra to do?
• Should we expect everyone to recycle? Is it sinful to not
recycle?
