Our Treasure
“Seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God” (Colossians 3:1).
Christ should be our greatest treasure, as the Lord Himself said, “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Matthew 6:21).
We live in a world where there are many duties and responsibilities. And, as we get older, those duties and obligations become increasingly greater and more pressing. But, if we have been attracted to the person of Christ in Heaven, we will not be so attracted and attached to things in this world. If “we see Jesus” (Hebrews 2:9), and the glories that radiate from His wonderful person, the things of earth will dim, and our hearts will be wrapped up in Himself and His interests. He, and He alone, will be our one and only treasure.
To gaze by faith on Jesus, this truly brings delight,
And helps to spur us onward,
Amidst this world’s dark night.
To see the Lord in glory, eclipses everything,
And gives fresh grace and courage,
To Him in faith to cling.
