What’s Wrong With Getting Rich Now?
Laying up treasures in heaven is like buying a ranch. The ranch with all its buildings and equipment is already there; but none of it belongs to you. When you buy it, you aren’t building or creating it; you are making all of it belong to you. When you invest in eternity, you are making more and more of it yours. The parable Jesus gave in Luke 19:11-27 helps us understand how our investments of time, effort, and money here can help us make eternal investments.

One of the biggest concerns we should have is where our heart is. Jesus is telling us that our heart follows our treasure. Where is our wealth and the things we value? Where do we store the things we value? What would we consider a catastrophe if we lost it?
I’ll Trade You!
Mat 19:23-26 (NIV) Then Jesus said to His disciples, “I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

If our heart is completely given over to the things of this world, it is because our treasure is there. Build us a treasure in the things of this world and Jesus says that is where our heart will be. No arguments. No exceptions. It works that way with all of us. If we are rich in earthly goods, our heart will be on this earth. This makes it difficult to get a rich person into heaven. How do we take a heart that is locked into earthly wealth and get it transferred to heavenly riches? Offer them a better deal.

This concludes your studying for today.
