Jesus gives us a picture of the character, the attitudes and behaviours of people who are fully devoted to Him, those who are part of His kingdom. And those who are part of His Kingdom invest in heavenly treasures and have an eternal perspective, and serve God and God alone.

The drive to be noticed is not only a product of the fall of man, but it is also the result of being created in the image of God. The issue is not the wanting to be noticed or appreciated, the issue is who we want to be noticed by. Jesus says that people who are part of His kingdom seek the affirmation of only one Person, their Heavenly Father.
