Lay Up Treasure in Heaven

Treasures reveal the heart and determine vision.

Jesus contrasts perishable earthly treasure with heavenly treasure, tying money to the heart and to spiritual focus.

Scripture

Matthew 6:19-21 Luke 12:33-34
Matthew 6:19-21

19 "Don't lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;

20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don't break through and steal;

21 for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

Luke 12:33-34

33 Sell that which you have, and give gifts to the needy. Make for yourselves purses which don't grow old, a treasure in the heavens that doesn't fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth destroys.

34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
