238 - Servant's Reward Series
Contributed by Joel Vicente on Oct 12, 2002 (message contributor)
Summary: DOES IT MATTER WHAT I DO HERE ON EARTH? The implication of the following verses is that treasures will be measured in heaven according to the deeds done on earth. So, YES!!!
Ask: What is due you? If God was to repay you for your deeds, what does God owe you? The Proverbs say, “He who gives to the Lord, lends to God?”
(7) Matthew 6:19-20 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. [20] But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Illustrate: The graduation rings – stolen from College dorm room – knew who did it… but knew my treasure in heaven was to forgive the thief – for he could not pay for college because of his financial lack.
