Treasures in Heaven

 


The great and mighty came as a poor man for our sake. Right from birth to death He experienced poverty. He had to shed blood for the forgiveness of our sins. We all know that.

Why the creator should become poor, to make us rich, St. Paul says in his second letter to Corinthians chapter eight verse nine. Jesus said it is very difficult for a rich man to enter heaven. What is the use of making us rich? Again Jesus told, sell your possessions and give to the poor to buy treasures in heaven.

This teaching is often understood as an exhortation to prioritize spiritual and moral values over material wealth. It emphasizes the importance of generosity, compassion, and detachment from worldly possessions. The idea is not necessarily to sell all possessions for everyone, but rather to examine one's heart and determine what might be hindering a genuine connection to others and to the divine.

God wants you to be rich, He wants you to exchange your wealth for heaven. If you don’t want to make this exchange better be poor and don’t become rich so that your chances are more for going to heaven.

Ultimately, the message encourages a deeper reflection on one's values and priorities in light of their faith.
