"treasures in heaven" - Even a Dollar in This World



Around Tokyo

Even a Dollar in This World

If you are rich and happy in this world, you will be poor and suffer in the hell.  But if you are poor and unhappy in this world, you will be rich and happy in Heaven.

This teaching of Christ Jesus implies that the total of wealth and happiness is constant all through this world and anther world consisting of Heaven and the hell.  The more you get in this world, the less you get in another world.

If poor and unhappy men believe in Christ Jesus, they should be  consoled very much.  But rich and happy men would not believe in Christ Jesus, because they are too busy enjoying their rich lives.

To understand depth of the meaning of this teaching requires love to the poor and unhappy.  Without love to them, you cannot accept this teaching.  And if you cannot accept the teaching, you cannot understand the meaning.

From the beginning, God created everyone with the same love to him or her.  God must prepare a mechanism to solve any problems arising from iniquity and the gap between the rich and the poor.  All we have to do is believe love of God to love, goodness and justice.

Otherwise, Satan might capture minds and heats of everyone and make him or her its slave by use of power of money.

In other words, to live with one million dollars in this world or to live with one million dollars in another world.  The former leads to the hell while the latter leads to Heaven.

It is because you cannot earn even a dollar in this world without sacrificing others and betraying God.

Mat 6:20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
Mat 6:21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Mat 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
