The Currency Of Heaven!
"The rich man also
died and was buried."
Luke 16: 22
According to Forbes magazine, 31 billionaires died in 2024,
leaving behind $207 billion in all. Isak Andic, for example,
was founder of a fashion retail empire. He plunged down
a ravine while hiking with his son. He was
71.
There’s nothing wrong with money, but it cannot buy our way
in heaven. In Luke 16, Jesus told of a beggar named Lazarus
who was carried into heaven when he died, while the nearby
rich man died and went to Hades. The rich man had all in life,
while Lazarus
had nothing.
Yet Lazarus was included in the grace of Jesus, while the
rich man lived only for his wealth. Our status and wealth in
life won’t gain us admission into heaven. Only faith in
Christ will do that.
Much of our attention on earth involves
finances,
and money causes a lot of stress in life for those
who have a lot of it and for those who have only
a little.
No one has ever taken even a copper penny
with them to heaven. Make sure your trust
is
in Jesus alone. His grace is the currency of
heaven.
"Grace is the understanding
that
God is a better Savior than you
are a sinner."
