Week #30: Matthew 6:19-21

Week of July 26-August 1

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. " [Matthew 6:19-21]


NOTE: What was anticipated in the last book of the Old Testament (Malachi) now arrives in the first book of the New Testament (Matthew): the Messiah of God. He must come from the kingly line-and Jesus does. He must bear the name of royalty-and Jesus' name means "the Lord saves." He must be worthy of worship-and wise men from the east travel great distances to pay homage to him. He must be a light to the Gentiles, be announced by a forerunner, and demonstrate power over Satan, demons, disease, and death-and Jesus does all of this and more. The Messiah has come!
