What we do with money and possessions matters for at least two reasons. First, how we use them reveals what we love (vv. 21). Second, they can be a powerfully enslaving false-god (vv. 22-24). Jesus says we should not treasure earthly treasures because they will not ultimately be able to satisfy us. They will wear out. Instead, He calls us to treasure heavenly treasures which will indeed satisfy. They are eternal. Jesus is the true heavenly Treasure. Every heavenly treasure is only a treasure at all because it affords us an opportunity to know Jesus more fully. Moth and rust cannot destroy Jesus. And thieves cannot break in and steal your relationship with Him. Therefore we should generously give our earthly treasures to help people meet the heavenly Treasure, Jesus. In addition to helping people meet Jesus, we should give to help people be loved and served like Jesus loves and serves us. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).
