Luther Quote of the Week
When Christ says, “Store up treasures for yourselves in heaven,” he is saying, “Let the world have the earthly treasures, which deteriorate, rust, and are easily stolen. The pleasures these things provide is the only happiness the world knows. You, however, aren’t citizens of this world. You are citizens of heaven bought by my blood.”
“You are destined to receive eternal treasures, which have been prepared and reserved for you. Don’t let your heart get caught up in material possessions.”
“If you must work with earthly treasures in your job, then guard against their appeal and don’t become a slave to them. Instead, set your sights on the treasures that are waiting for you in heaven. Those are real treasures that moths and rust can’t touch. They can’t be destroyed or stolen.”
“Whoever wants to be a Christian should be inspired by the possibility of receiving eternal treasures.”
