We see in the Bible, many instances of Jesus speaking about wealth and possessions! In Matthew 6 verse 21, he sums up by saying, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” Indeed it is!!
There can be many things in this world that our eyes covet and desire, that can consume us and be central to our lives. The love of money, people, sports and teams are just some of the things that can be in our hearts. But Jesus outlines in parable 6, Matthew 13, verses 45-46, that “The kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”He had found that ‘one’ – and everything that he had and whatever the value, it was nothing in comparison to this one pearl!!
Jesus is this great pearl, He is the greatest treasure we could ever hope for in our whole being. He even sends His Holy Spirit to live and dwell in us to guide us and be our comforter! What a treasure that is! That the Holy Spirit of God lives in His people, His Bride and Church to keep our our eyes and heart pointing to Jesus, whom is seated at the right hand of the Father.
Jesus Christ is the greatest treasure. Where is your heart today?
