When we invest in the things
God values (any work that helps others) we are building treasures in
heaven. What is this treasure? It includes power (Luke 19:15-19) ,
possessions (Matthew 19:21) and pleasures ( Psalm 16:11) . Jesus promises
that those who sacrifice on earth will receive a hundred time as much in heaven
(Matthew 19:29) . Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven. Why?
Because its right and because its smart. Because such treasures will last.
Jesus argues the bottom line . It’s not an emotional appeal, it’s a
logical one. Invest in what has lasting value. You’ll never see a hearse
pulling a U-Haul. Why? Because you can’t take it with you. John D Rockefeller
was one of the wealthiest men who ever lived. After he died someone asked his
accountant, “How much money did John D. leave” . The reply… He left…. All
of it. You can’t take it with you.
