"Stop collecting treasures for your own benefit on earth, 

where moth and rust eat them and where thieves break in and steal them. Instead, 

collect treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moth and rust dont eat them and where thieves dont break in and steal them. 

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Matthew 6:19-21 CEB

Jesus is clear. 

Stop collecting treasures here, and start collecting treasures there. 

The problem is that it might be reasonably straightforward to consider what the treasures on earth are, but just what are the treasures in heaven we're supposed to collect?

What are they?

How do you collect them?

How many treasures is good? 

Enough?

My guess is that the last phrase Jesus gives us is the key;

"Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

Jesus treasure in heaven is the Father, and the treasure he is collecting and wants to be with him is us. 

People. 

You. 

So is Jesus pointing at himself here, that He is our treasure? 

And to follow him and in some way collect people? How does that work?

Maybe Jesus just wants us to consider, to ponder what's really important, where my heart is at, and is inviting us into something deeper with Him...
