SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #188
"Lay not up to yourselves treasures on earth: where the rust, and moth consume, and where thieves break through, and steal. But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal. For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart also.
(Matt. 6:19-21)
GOOD WORKS: All good works, such as works of piety, mortification and brotherly love, are treasures laid up in heaven. When we die, we must leave all earthly things, even our very bodies, behind us: only our good works will go with us, and procure for us a favorable judgment.
[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]
