This week we look at Jesus' famous saying that where we put our treasure, there our heart will be. We're going to see that this actually isn't Jesus' main point; most people already knew about this concept in Jesus' time, and the main point he is making for his ancient audience occurs a little later in his sermon. And when we see what Jesus' main point actually is, this sermon ends up being incredibly relevant for those of us who are in quarantine and find ourselves with little to no income and tight on money. Jesus first admonishes us for our lack of faith, but then right away encourages us to abide in God's love and learn to trust him. He never promises financial prosperity - in fact, Jesus often promises and even encourages the opposite for some - but he always points us toward the Father's love.
