GOD IS OUR TREASURE
Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Mt. 6: 21). The treasure for Judas was money and therefore for thirty pieces of silver his mind was seeking for an opportune moment to deliver Jesus into the hands of the chief priests. He was physically present with his Master and the other disciples in the Passover celebration while his heart was hounding to betray Jesus for the thirty pieces of silver. Had his treasure been the Master, he wouldn’t have dared to betray him!
Lent is a time to set our heart on God for He is our treasure. Has this season of lent helped us to check our mind and heart in order to put them on the track with God? If not, at least during this holy week let us test our mind, examine our heart and amend our ways unto the ways of the Lord. In this way we can partake in the Holy Week worship with a humble, contrite, repentant and grateful heart. May our mind heart resonate with the prayer: “Lord Jesus help me to discover you as the great treasure and a priceless pearl.”
