The words of Jesus
What Did Jesus Say About Treasure?
Jesus taught that where we keep our treasure reveals where our heart truly lives. Here is what He said about it.
“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
Jesus, in Matthew 6:20-21, King James Version
Your heart follows whatever you treasure most.
“For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
Jesus, in Matthew 16:26, King James Version
No earthly treasure is worth the loss of your soul.
“The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found... he selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field.”
Jesus, in Matthew 13:44, King James Version
The kingdom is worth everything you have.
“Provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not.”
Jesus, in Luke 12:33, King James Version
Heavenly treasure is the only kind that never runs out.
“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
Jesus, in Luke 12:34, King James Version
Invest your heart where it can never be robbed.
Come to Him
Jesus Himself is the treasure hidden in the field, worth selling everything to gain. When you find Him, you find riches that moth and rust can never touch.
His words were always meant to lead you to Himself. You can begin with Jesus here, ask someone to pray with you, or read His words in the Bible.
