About this listen
Most people assume Jesus said our treasure follows our heart but He said the exact opposite: your heart will follow your treasure. Whatever you invest in your money, time, effort, identity will eventually claim your loyalty, even if it leads you away from God. Christ warns us that if we store up treasures on earth, our affections will drift toward humanistic hopes and away from His Kingdom. History and life confirm this: a businessman who once opposed corruption defended an immoral company because millions of his dollars were tied up in it; a union founder excused abuses because the union had become his life’s treasure; a man remained in an apostate church because his family’s costly memorials were embedded in its walls. In every case, the heart followed the treasure. Jesus’ warning is urgent: beware what you invest your life into, because your heart will chase it even to destruction, as with Lot’s wife.
