Yes, I have used this picture before. I downloaded it yesterday by mistake and was about to delete it, when it reminded me of a passage from the sermon on the mount.
Jesus says…
Matthew 6 ( World English Bible )
Mat 6:19, “Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
Mat 6:20, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
Mat 6:21, for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (emphasis added)
Either you think about God and the things HE wants you to think about or you don’t. Jesus emphasizes treasures in heaven and so should his followers. The thing is… all the things of this world that most people think are important are not, but the spiritual things not of this world are the things that are of eternal value.
Either you are a Christian or you are not. If you belong to Jesus, you know genuine happiness; one that will be your treasure now and forever. And that’s better than any picture could ever be – even one as beautiful as this!
