Naked?

Matthew 6:28-30

28 "And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing,29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?"



This morning's Sunday School lesson was on Value. What we should value, and what we shouldn't value. We started in Matthew 6:19 and studied through the end of the chapter. In this passage, Jesus paints a perfect picture of what is important and what is not. We see in verses 28 through 30 that we put our faith where place value. When we count Christ as having high value, we seem to trust Him more, and worry less.



Things to count as nothing? We discussed that money, social status, and even food/clothing can take away from the way that view our God. We can become obsessed with these things, and can even unconsciously see them as god. We can worship these things by pouring our time/lives into them. This is no better than old testament idolatry.
 
 
What to value? Christ and the building of His Kingdom. Everything else fades. Money, cars, and dreams all break in a sense. Christ and His Kingdom do not. Good looks turn to wrinkles, and buzzes wear off. Jesus doesn't. This is why were are to focus totally on Him. Him effort, and every conversation should turn to Him. We should be working hard to build this thing Jesus calls "the Kingdom".
 
So what do you call important? Where do you spend your time, and what do you do there? Is it for Christ? If He has great value in your eyes it will be.
 
Think about it. Be honest with yourself. Where are your eyes set?
 
Take a look into Matthew 6:19-34.
 
 
 
Believe Jesus. Love Jesus. Live Jesus.
