What if...and this may be borderline
heresy, but what if the treasures we store up in heaven are actually the
relationships we build on earth with our brothers and sisters, and especially
those we met as lost but became found because we preached the Gospel to them?
What if the treasures are the joy contained in these relationships, made
complete and full once we all are in heaven in the full presence of God?
Fellowship is truly the taste of heaven. Relationships are literally the only
thing that we can bring into heaven. Literally. Christ has made brother and
sisterhood such an important thing.
Phil 4:1
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy
and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!
1 Thess 2:19
For what is our hope, our joy, or the crown in which we will glory in
the presence of our Lord Jesus when he comes? Is it not you?
Mark 10:29-30
Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there
is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father
or children or farms, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, 30 but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.
