Can someone tell me, what is this treasure, JESUS, is talking about? in heaven

[pardrepiochild]

Jesus said to his disciples:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.
But store up treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

Jesus said to his disciples:
"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth,
where moth and decay destroy, and thieves break in and steal.
But store up treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor decay destroys, nor thieves break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.

I think it means grace…that which sanctifies us. The more Christlike we are with His grace when we die, the happier and more intense will our life in heaven be.

I wish someone would read that to all those prosperity gospel preachers.

I wish someone would read that to all those prosperity gospel preachers.

But would they hear it?

 

[Rich_C]

I think it’s the Catholic Faith.

 

[Jas2282]

I always associated this quote : But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. with what you are asking…maybe it can translate to not everyone in heaven is the same, some are raised up higher than others due to how they lived their life on earth.

 

[SonCatcher]

Treasure is that which is valued. It doesn’t have to be a physical thing at all.

If you place greater value in the things of this world than in the eternal, the things of this world will eventually be destroyed and you will have no treasure. However, if you place greater value on that which is eternal, it will never be destroyed and you will always have your treasure.

I agree with SonCatcher.

St. Paul said,“eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, what things God hath prepared for them that love him.” (1 Cor 2:9) What transformation! " "If then any be in Christ a new creature, the old things are passed away, behold all things are made new. (2 Cor 5:17) Including what we value!
