Heart Stored Treasure Wealth
Luke 12
1. Jesus preaches to his apostles to avoid hypocrisy
13. and warns against covetousness, by the parable of the man who set up greater barns.
22. We must not worry about earthly things,
31. but seek the kingdom of God;
33. give alms;
35. be ready at a knock to open to our Lord whensoever he comes.
41. Jesus' disciples are to see to their charges,
49. and look for persecution.
54. The people must take this time of grace;
57. because it is a fearful thing to die without reconciliation.














For where
This phrase introduces a causal relationship, indicating that what follows is a direct consequence of what precedes. In the Greek, "ὅπου" (hopou) is used, which means "where" or "in what place." This sets the stage for a profound spiritual truth, emphasizing the connection between one's values and one's inner life. The use of "for" suggests a reason or explanation, inviting the reader to reflect on the deeper implications of their priorities.

your treasure
The Greek word for "treasure" is "θησαυρός" (thēsauros), which refers to a storehouse or a place where valuables are kept. In the historical context, treasure could mean wealth, possessions, or anything of great value. Jesus uses this term metaphorically to represent what individuals hold dear, whether material or spiritual. The concept of treasure challenges believers to evaluate what they prioritize and invest in, urging them to consider eternal values over temporal ones.

is
The verb "is" (Greek: "ἐστιν," estin) serves as a linking verb, connecting the subject "treasure" with its location. It implies a state of being or existence, suggesting that one's treasure is not just a possession but an integral part of one's identity and life. This small but significant word underscores the permanence and reality of the relationship between treasure and heart.

there
The word "there" (Greek: "ἐκεῖ," ekei) indicates a specific location or place. It emphasizes the fixed position of the heart in relation to the treasure. This spatial term reinforces the idea that the heart is inevitably drawn to and anchored by what one values most. It serves as a reminder that the orientation of one's heart is determined by the focus of one's treasure.

your heart
In Greek, "καρδία" (kardia) is used for "heart," which in biblical terms often represents the center of one's being, including emotions, will, and intellect. The heart is seen as the seat of moral and spiritual life. This phrase highlights the intimate connection between what one treasures and the condition of one's heart. It challenges believers to examine their inner motivations and desires, aligning them with God's will.

will be also
The phrase "will be also" (Greek: "ἔσται καὶ," estai kai) indicates certainty and inevitability. It suggests that the heart's alignment with one's treasure is not optional but a natural consequence. This future tense verb points to the ongoing and future implications of one's current choices. It serves as both a warning and an encouragement, urging believers to invest in heavenly treasures that lead to a heart aligned with God's purposes.

(34) For where your treasure is.--See Note on Matthew 6:21.
