“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

But there is an important warning.

“The heart is more deceitful than anything else and its sickness is incurable. Who can understand it?”

Maybe that is why Jesus' question is so deep.

**We do not always know where our heart is.**

We can say that we trust in God and still discover that our security is somewhere else.

From very early on we learn to seek what can sustain and protect us.

Work. Earn. Save. Accumulate.

And, besides money, there is another treasure more and more sought after: recognition.

To be seen, heard, admired, valued.

Maybe that is why it is so hard to reach enough.

“Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.”

**The search for these treasures does not end.**

A little more is always needed: more money, more security, more recognition.

And, with this endless search, anxiety comes too.

But Jesus spoke of another treasure.

“The Kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. A man, having found it, hid it again and then, full of joy, went and sold everything he had and bought that field.”

**The man did not sell everything to find the treasure.**

**He found the treasure first.**

And, when he found it, everything else changed in value.

**The search gave way to rest.**

---

Paul helps us see where this treasure is hidden:

“Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

**All the treasures are hidden in Christ.**

Maybe that is why the Kingdom produces such a different way of living.

We no longer need to spend our lives trying to be greater, to own more, to accumulate more or to be more recognized.

In the Kingdom, the greatest is the one who serves.

The Son of Man himself did not come to be served, but to serve.

---

And this is not born simply from the effort of giving things up.

It is born from a discovery.

The man found the treasure and, **full of joy**, left everything else.

**The true treasure is Christ.**

And this treasure is also a revealed mystery:

**Christ in you, the hope of glory.**

---

“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

**Where is your treasure?**
