Matt 6- -KJV- 19Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal- 20But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal- 21For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.--Every time I have heard this scripture preached, it has been used as a warning against materialism. Even to the extreme of suggesting money is bad, and if you have too much of it, you are bad. --But was that the original focus of this verse-- --When Jesus says, -Lay not up treasure on earth,- could it be that this is a warning against holding too tightly to whatever you have -how little or much it may be-, rather than a mere warning against obtaining material blessing -however it may arrive-.---Let's take a fresh look at this familiar passage together, with the Lord's help.
