Jesus here tells us the most important lesson about money. Our heart, our desire and hope, is tied closely to our treasure. Our money and our heart go together. We all know that, of course, to some extent. But when Jesus calls our attention to this part of our character, he confronts us.
He alerts us to the powerful tug that material wealth possesses, an allure that makes us do and act and believe contrary to our Christian confession. We say that we live for God. Our checkbook shows us what we really live for. Jesus calls us to examine where we place our money and our heart: earthly pleasures that fade away or eternal kingdom investments that last forever.
- Where is most of your treasure? Is that where your heart is?
- When you give, does that frighten you or excite you? Why?
