Many wrongly limit this to meaning only money. He said, lay not up treasurers. In fact, many ambitious are non-materialistic. The term treasure is more encompassing than money and is all inclusive. What Jesus teaches us is about our attitude toward possessions or our ambition.
Worldly ambition has a strong fascination focus.
So treasure is bigger than mere wealth. Treasure may refer to status, the love of honor, the love of position, power or an illegitimate love of one's work. An earthly treasure is anything that centers on this world only or that which displaces our vision away from God. Let me show you what I mean. Let me help you clarify what your ambitions or earthly treasurers are.
