The answer is: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also

Matthew 6 vs 21

When Jesus talks about laying up treasure in heaven, he’s inviting us to reflect on what really matters in life. In a world that often values material possessions, he flips the script—encouraging us to invest in things that hold eternal significance. That phrase “where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” packs a punch! It's not just about money—think relationships, kindness, generosity, and love. These are the treasures that truly last.

Interestingly, in the first century, many believed that worldly wealth could corrupt. The parable of the rich young ruler reinforces this idea. He was challenged to give away his wealth, exposing how easily material things can anchor our hearts away from spiritual values. Jesus hints that focusing on heavenly treasures aligns us with our higher values and purpose.

It's also noteworthy that treasure in heaven might not be what you think. Instead of jewels or golden streets, these treasures may be the joy of helping others, the strength of community, and the peace that comes from doing goodwill.

There's a beautiful echo in the Hebrew Scriptures too, like Proverbs 23:4-5, where wealth is portrayed as fleeting and elusive—a reminder that our value lies in what can't be banked or counted. Jesus, in his teachings, calls us to resonate with something deeper and far more rewarding—an invitation to explore the richness of compassion, grace, and mercy that truly shapes our hearts.
