Abstract
This study aims to reflect on Matthew 19:16–26 as a theological offer to foster the capacity of financial giving practices in spiritual ministry for Generation Z. This is to anticipate the theology of prosperity, which is often misused, and the selfish management of wealth. This theological reflection is essential to understand that Generation Z views spiritual growth separately from the practice of blessing. The impact is that Generation Z needs to care more to support funds in spiritual activities and services around them. The research method applied consists in a descriptive qualitative approach through constructive analysis of scientific discourse. With the use of this method, it is argued that Generation Z needs some basic theological reflection regarding using God’s blessings to give funds and treasures after the COVID-19 pandemic in support of spiritual activities around them.
本研究旨在反思马太福音 19：16-26，将其作为一种神学提议，以培养 Z 世代在属灵事工中的财务奉献实践能力。这种神学反思对于理解 Z 世代将属灵成长与祝福实践分开看待是至关重要的。其影响是，Z 世代需要更多的关心，以支持他们身边的属灵活动和服务的资金。所采用的研究方法包括通过对科学话语的建设性分析来描述定性的方法。通过使用这种方法，我们认为 Z 世代在 COVID-19 大流行之后，需要对使用上帝的祝福给予资金和财宝以支持他们周围的属灵活动进行一些基本的神学反思。
