19 Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. ~ Matthew 6:19–21
Don’t waste your time working for fool’s gold. The only thing you will have in eternity is what you send on ahead. If you send nothing on ahead, you will have nothing.
Well, I’m sure you will have something, but nothing compared to what you could have.
We need to work now; we need to build up our treasure, don’t miss out on the best and most profitable investment ever, YOUR ETERNITY!
Paul understood the gravity of the situation when he told the Corinthian church that he worked harder, was imprisoned more, had more hardships than the other apostles. He was building up lasting treasure.
Paul was sure of what he had done. He did not waste his time with useless things. He did not get distracted with temporal wealth and position. He was hyper-focused on the eternal. Don’t let the deceitful fruit of the world take away your focus on the eternal.
Peace. Love. Go Forth and Invest In Your Eternity.
