Our motto this year has been “It is Not What You Have, But What Has You”.
Our lesson for this month we will be looking at how we determine the value that we place on things.
The motto is based on the assumption that what we have relates to material things, but that is not always true.
We all have things of great value to us – our treasures.
I) Our treasures
They come in a wide variety, including money, power, solitude, influence, entertainment, family, praise
We can tell our treasures by the things we keep careful watch over (like Scrooge McDuck sleeping in his vault), or wanting to know where our children are at all times, maybe a safe or hiding place
These are the things we cannot bear to part with, even for another treasure – ;
II) Treasures in the gospels
Much is written about treasure, despite the poverty of Jesus – ;
Very little good is written about material treasure – ; ; ;
But other treasures, like observations of the Messiah, are very valuable – , – leading to treasures of the heart –
III) Good treasures
What makes something a treasure?
It is the value that we obtain from it, whether that be the buying power of money, or the pleasure of seeing our family
Jesus said that our treasure marks the spot of our heart – – and what we treasure defines the condition of our heart –
Laying up treasure in heaven is accomplished by what we do here (like Hispanics who work here and send “treasure” back home) – – which is what we do with that God has entrusted to us – ;
Concl: What do you treasure in your heart?
Is it eating your flesh, or renewing your spirit - - the treasure that comes from God (His will) is the only treasure worth giving up every other treasure to have – because we must!
