Jesus asked this only to test them, for He already had in mind what he was going to do. God can do the miraculous, all we have to do is trust Him to provide the resources. He gave it cheerfully. He gave it immediatly. There is a misconception still common today.
Many believers enjoy material prosperity, many others live in hardship.
Wealth is not a sign of faith or partiality on God's part. Some Christians don't tithe, and they wonder why God doesn't Bless them. Jesus chalanges us to think beyond earth-bound goals and to use what we have been given to help others. Money has the power to take God's place in your life. It can become your master.
