Eternal Wealth

Love is the greatest treasure.

Luke 12:15

“Take care to guard against all greed, for though one may be rich, one’s life does not consist of possessions.”

This statement made by Jesus is ridiculous in the eyes of our current culture.

Greed is what fuels the economy.

Advertisers bank on you wanting more and more of whatever they are peddling.

In today’s scripture verse, Jesus tells the parable of the “Rich Fool”…the man who builds bigger barns to store a bountiful harvest of grain and other goods for himself. However, little does that rich man know that that very night…he would die.

Are we living to collect possessions?

What possessions are we so attached to that we lose sight of what’s really important in life? 

How sad it would be to come to our earthly end…and realize we have spent our lives collecting possessions that will all stay here…while our souls move on.

How sad it would be to realize that we spent our earthly years focused on stuff that will one day disintegrate.

How much time are we spending on learning to love and to be loved?

That is where eternal treasure will be found.
