Let's Go Back to the Bible

Your treasure

Jesus taught that “where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Matt. 6:21). So, the question is, “Where is your treasure?” Note a few things about this. First, Jesus says you only have one treasure (not more than one). A few verses later He emphasizes that “no one can serve two masters” (6:24). You only have one master. You only have one treasure. Think about that. Second, note that you are the one who determines what (and where) your treasure is. That which your heart treasures identifies what your treasure is. Third, realize that there are only two possible treasures. There are not dozens of possibilities. There are only two. Your treasure is either earth or its heaven. And, it CANNOT be a little bit of both.

So, back to the question. Where is your treasure? This is not just a random topic. This is the most important question you will ever answer. You have to decide–is my job, my money, my car, my toys, my gadgets, my house, my hobbies, my family, my relationships, my plans, etc. more valuable to me right now than heaven? How is my life answering that question?
