"Don't lay up for yourselves treasures on earth," Matthew 6:19.
Wow. Jesus just keeps at it, doesn't he? He just does not leave our earth-bound mind-set alone. He shows the futility of this-world thinking. Stock piles of stuff here just get rusted or rotten or stolen. Stock piles in heaven, on the other hand, are immune to such decay. But mainly, Jesus knows our hearts are stuck to where our treasures are: exhausted earth or imperishable skies.
We visit with a brother or sister today mindful of heaven. And together we give thanks to God for the immeasurable riches of his kingdom in Christ.
