How do earthly treasures compare to heavenly ones? They compare quite poorly. Our Lord Jesus describes earthly treasures as thief-ridden and moth-perishable. Even if they were to last, how could you ever enjoy them all? You will die and you can’t even guarantee your loved ones will use them wisely. Heavenly treasures instead are money bags which will never run out. Who would not like that right now? A credit card which you never pay back. Where can I find that? It is already yours. When you hear the words, “I forgive you all your sins…” or “Take, eat this is the true body your Lord…”, you should think to yourself: “Aha! How precious to me are my Savior’s words. I am securely in heaven right now and nothing can shake me. I don’t know what I would do without these words. I would give up everything to hear those words from the pastor.”
