Wwhat Jesus says about wealth and possessions isn’t framed as rules for earthly survival. Its preparation for life in the kingdom of heaven.
When he tells the rich man to sell everything or urges people not to worry about tomorrow, he’s describing what life looks like under God’s reign, not necessarily how to navigate the economy or politics.
When he says the meek will inherit the earth, he doesn't mean homeless people. He means humble people. It don't matter if they have money or do, he means anyone who entrusts themselves to gods justice instead of forcing their way with violence, wealth, or political power.
Make your way, do as you will, but be kind and humble and accept that you are a servant of god (jesus) and you're gucci.
