Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 12:33-34

"Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." — Luke 12:33-34 (ASV)

Provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

You are sure to live for that which is the choicest object of your love. Whatever you think to be first, will be first; and what you love in your heart, you will be sure to follow in your life.

Sell what you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which do not wear out, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

It is not only important to lay up that which can truly be called treasure, but also to lay it up in the right place: a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts. Such treasure as that will not harm us if we set our heart upon it, and, eventually, in God's good time, we and our treasure shall both be in heaven.
