Bible Question:
Who is the beneficiary of this treasure? What kind of treasure was Jesus talking about? How do we send treasures on ahead of our arrival? How might this verse enable us to evaluate how we invest the resources God has given us while we are still here? |
Bible Answer: 1) It seems pretty clear that Jesus is talking only to those that have a soul with which to go to heaven, so He's talking about us human beings as being the beneficiaries of God's Home after a life of faithful service and obedience to Him. 2) Kind of treasure: I would refer to Rev 2:10 3) How to: Study God's Word as cited in 2 Tim 2:15 4) We must discard the things of this world and think on Heavenly things as cited in Eph 3:8 To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light what is the administration of the mystery which for ages has been hidden in God who created all things; 10 so that the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known through the church to the rulers and the authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was in accordance with the eternal purpose which He carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him. Hope this helps and God bless. --Rowdy |
