Gospel of Matthew 6:16-21
The Sermon on the Mount [Part 9] - Lay up Your Treasure
Moreover, when you fast, do not wear a somber expression like the hypocrites; for they disfigure their faces, so that others will know that they are fasting. Truly I say to you, They have received their reward. But you, when you fast, should anoint your head, and wash your face, so that your fasting will not be seen by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
Store not your treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves do not break through or steal.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The lamp of the body is the eye; therefore if your eye is true, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If the light that is in you is darkness, how great the darkness is!
Quote of Charles Spurgeon
"It is an unfortunate thing for the Christian to become melancholy. If there is any man in the world that has a right to have a bright, clear face and a flashing eye, it is the man whose sins are forgiven him, who is saved with God's salvation."
