Matthew 6:19-20 … a Lessening of Stuff (08/02/16)

16 12.25

Actually, despite the vehemence of this meme — Jesus said nothing of the sort, and indeed often encouraged his followers to do exactly the opposite — to worry not about their material needs, to give more than they received, to make their lives about Love, to share of their Selves more than their stuff … which is, of course, great advice for us today as well.

 

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. Instead, store up for yourselves treasures of Heart in Heaven, where moths and vermin cannot nibble, and where thieves cannot pillage and rob.” ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 6:19-20)
