“Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure
is, there will you heart be also” (Luke 12:33-34).
This is the list of orders which Christ has placed on record for His
people:
The Unexplainable Bargain– “Sell that ye have, and give alms … “
To the carnal man, this is no bargain at all. Instead it borders on folly. To the Christian, however, there is that which scattereth, and yet increaseth and there is that which maketh himself poor yet hath great riches (see Proverbs 11 :24).
The Unaging Bags – ” … provide yourselves bags which wax
not old … “
Ageless treasures must be placed in unaging bags. Heavenly treasures will be lost except they are bagged in Heaven. Lay up your treasures in Heaven, where your life is hid in Christ in God.
The Unfailing Bounty– ” … a treasure in the heavens that faileth not … “
Everything in Heaven is of God’s making. What we have to enrich us is but the gift of God. Bank your God-given treasures within the heavenly bank, and what interest will be due to you on the great dividend day!
The Unapproachable Bank -” … where no thief approacheth … “
Heaven’s bank has never been robbed nor have any of its treasures been stolen. Our treasures are absolutely safe therein. Happy are those who bank in Heaven.
The Incorruptible Barrier –” … neither moth corrupteth”
The moth cannot fly in between the bars of the treasure trove of Heaven. This Heaven cannot be infiltrated by the smallest of destructive forces. It is omnipotently impregnable.
The Unbreakable Bond –” … where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
What a bond to the heart of the saint is His treasure, the priceless Saviour. That bond forged in the fires of Calvary and hammered on the anvil of grace is unbreakable. It stands steadfast forever.
