Worldliness and Trust
Mat_6:19-34
The Christian life is very simpleif only we
understand it. It has only one principlesinglehearted devotion to Christ. Paul stated this principle
when he said, To me to live is Christ (Php_1:21)
Jesus states it here also when He says, Seek first His
kingdom, and His righteousness.
In our present passage, we have a whole scheme of
life.
To begin with, we must find
something real and permanent to live for. It
concerns the matter of possessions. Earths banks
are not absolutely safe ; and even if they were, they
are not eternal. We are immortal, and we must find
a place of deposit secure for immortal years. Do not
store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where
moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in
and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in
heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and
where thieves do not break in and steal.
