Eternal Treasure
“And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, ‘You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.'” Mark 10:21 (ESV)
Whatever treasure we cling to today has no comparison to the treasure we will possess in heaven. Things that we cherish now are only temporary, subject to deterioration, and kindling for when the earth is made new by fire at the end of the age. However, your treasure in heaven is everlasting life, and that includes peace, joy, and God Himself.
Let’s pray today that we would stay focused on our future treasures in Heaven.
