Jesus alludes to the fact that some unbelievers work harder to prepare for their temporary futures than believers work to prepare for our eternal futures. In Colossians 3:2, Paul instructs us to “Set your minds on what is above, not on what is on the earth.” It’s easy to become distracted by material things and lose sight of eternity. We must ask ourselves if we’re using our worldly wealth and resources to make an eternal impact or wasting our opportunity to make a difference.
