Treasure

a WORD from God's Book
_____________________________________________________________

Tell them to use their money to do good. They should be rich in good works and should give generously to those in need, always being ready to share with others whatever God has given them. By doing this they will be storing up their treasure as a good foundation for the future so that they may take hold of real life.

Jesus felt genuine love for this man as he looked at him. "You lack only one thing," he told him. "Go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."

"The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field--and to get the treasure, too!

But this precious treasure--this light and power that now shine within us--is held in perishable containers, that is, in our weak bodies. [ Greek But we have this treasure in earthen vessels.] So everyone can see that our glorious power is from God and is not our own.

If some friends went to prison, you stuck by them. If some enemies broke in and seized your goods, you let them go with a smile, knowing they couldn't touch your real treasure. Nothing they did bothered you, nothing set you back.

Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be.

1 Timothy 6:19 Mark 10:21 Matthew 13:44 2 Corinthians 4:7 Hebrews 10:34 Luke 12:34
