What Did Jesus Say About Our Treasures?

By: Robert A. Searles

Where are our treasures? What are those things we treasure most? Jesus taught that we tend to keep our heart, mind, and soul, focused upon our treasures, whatever they may be. Earthly treasures such as gold, silver, precious jewels, houses and lands, education, esteem of men etc, are corruptible and sooner or later will wax old and fall into decay or be stolen by thieves. Even our life on earth is but a vapor and but for a moment and will soon fade away and be gone. If while on the earth we are consumed with the passion for getting wealth and accumulating earthly treasure, we will find in the end that these are poor bed fellows when we are on our sick bed and ready to die.

We ought to live our lives on this earth being content with whatever state we find ourselves in, counting our many blessings day by day, and living in such a fashion that we are accumulating heavenly wealth and treasures which we are sending on ahead of us to be enjoyed forever in the kingdom of God in heaven. If our heart is focused on those treasures, then we will be constantly in communion with God our Father and find our joy in serving him.

Jesus said: “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and thieves do not break through and steal, . For where your treasure is there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6: 19-21. “No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6: 24.
