Treasure in Heaven
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doll: corrupt, and where thieves break through mid steak but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doll: corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steak for where you r treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eve be single, thy whole body shalt be full of light" (Matthew 6:19-22).
The Lord Jesus said these words to people whose eye was not single. They were trying to keep to the rules while ensuring for themselves a path of ease and prominence. A single eye upon Christ and His Word will keep us from leading a double life. The truth about a double life is: "No man can semi' two masters: for either he will hale the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the Other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon [riches]" (Matthew 6:24).
