Quote:
Christ has come, the Light of the world.
Long ages may yet elapse before His beams have reduced the world to order and beauty, and clothed a purified humanity with light as with a garment.
But He has come: the Revealer of the snares and chasms that lurk in darkness, the Rebuker of every evil thing that prowls by night, the Stiller of the storm-winds of passion; the Quickener of all that is wholesome, the Adorner of all that is beautiful, the Reconciler of contradictions, the Harmonizer of discords, the Healer of diseases, the Saviour from sin.
He has come: the Torch of truth, the Anchor of hope, the Pillar of faith, the Rock for strength, the Refuge for security, the Fountain for refreshment, the Vine for gladness, the Rose for beauty, the Lamb for tenderness, the Friend for counsel, the Brother for love.
Jesus Christ has trod the world.
The trace of the Divine footsteps will never be obliterated.
And the Divine footsteps were the footsteps of One who is Man.
The example of Christ is such as men can follow.
On! until mankind wears His image.
On! towards yon summit on which stands, not an angel, not a disembodied spirit, not an abstract of ideal and unattainable virtues, but THE MAN JESUS CHRIST.
—Peter Bayne: “The Testimony of Christ to Christianity.”

The overall context is that of Christ giving one of the most famous messages: the Sermon on the Mount.
In the gospel according to Matthew Jesus Christ is presented as the King of the Jews.
It is a gospel that accounts of the Kingdom of Heaven.
In we see that Jesus has launched his public ministry.
What are people in the Kingdom of Heaven like?
What do people in the Kingdom of Heaven long for?
What characterizes people of the Kingdom of Heaven?
Enter in the Sermon on the Mount:
These three groupings seem to run in tens.
The Sermon on the Mount (v.-vii.)
consists of ten principal components.

People of the kingdom are people who invest for the kingdom!
People of the kingdom are people who are wholeheartedly devoted to the kingdom!
People of the kingdom are people who store up treasure in heaven!
Proposition: Please do not only see this as something you are commanded to do but see it as evidence of your subjugation in the kingdom.
Do you have a heart for Christ & His Kingdom?
What are treasures?
Good Quote/Exposition:
Jesus now explains that behind the choice between two treasures (where we lay them up) and two visions (where we fix our eyes) there lies the still more basic choice between two masters (whom we are going to serve)” (Stott, p. 158).
Treasures are those things that people value the most.
It is that for which an individual would give everything for.
The Treasure of the recognition of men (v. 1 - 5, 16)
The Treasure of Sonship, Prayer, Forgiveness (6:4, 9, 12)
The Greek word translated “treasures” or “riches” in normally means “accumulated wealth in the form of money, jewels, or other valuables.”

So Jesus is specifically teaching about financial means or wealth, but what do kingdom subjects do with wealth?
What am I commanded to do with treasures?
