Your Other Treasure

Thursday, February 4, 2021

There's an expression, "Time is money." But that's not true. Time is not money. Time is time. We often use money to purchase good times. And the more we give, the more good times we expect. If we put a quarter into a pinball machine or video game, we get a few minutes of fun. If we spend a few dollars in the cinema, we get two hours of entertainment. If we spend 20 or 30 dollars in a restaurant, we get a night out. Yet all of these things we spend money on ultimately end and then there's nothing. But Messiah said, "Don't store up your treasures on earth where moths and rust devour, and thieves break in and steal." He told us to store up our treasures in heaven because that's the only place where treasures last forever. When you invest your treasures in the Kingdom of Heaven you get blessings forever - you get eternal dividends. Be wise with your investments. Invest whatever you have in this life in the Kingdom of God. You'll inherit everlasting riches and all the time in the world - and then some.
