23. Treasure in Heaven

As we “practice our righteousness,” by giving, praying, forgiving and fasting, Jesus moves from the specific to the general purposes behind those practices. Which world are we living for? This earthly one that is falling apart before our eyes? Or the spiritual kingdom of Christ that will last forever? Do we truly “believe God exists and that He rewards those who seek Him” (Heb. 11:6)? Do we actively store up treasure in heaven, trusting in our Father “who sees in secret”?
