treasure in heaven

 Jesus said to lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven in Matthew 6:20


I don't know what these treasures will look like other than receiving praise and recognition from God for what was done, but there will be treasure in the form of people that we had an impact on in this life for eternity.


Daniel 12:2-3 wrote,

“… many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.


Paul writing to the church in Thessalonica said, 

“...we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us. 19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Is it not even you in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at His coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy. “ First Thessalonians 2:18-20


What greater treasure in heaven than those we had an impact on for eternity? We will be together with them forever.
