Matthew 6:19-24: Treasure, Hearts, and God
Thursday, May 5, 2022
Store up treasures in heaven, where neither moth no decay destroy, nor thieves break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be . . .
If your eye is sound, your whole body will be filled with light . . .
No one can serve two masters . . .
We have reflected frequently on the concept of storing treasure in our Noontimes journey and today, as we move through Jesus’ teachings as recorded in Matthew we have another opportunity to pause again to consider . . . what it is we value and store . . . where we place our hopes . . . and how we expend our energies.
In Easter celebration we remember that, despite the evil that looms too closely, God is light to the world and that we are called to be part of that light.
In Easter thanksgiving we remember that, despite what the world may tell us, God is the only master we need serve.
In Easter beatitude we remember that, despite our disappointments and struggles, God is the only treasure that we need store in our hearts.
