Where Your True Treasure Lies…..

Human nature, who can fully grasp its depth? One minute you see the triumphs of selflessness, then a minute later you see it’s vile, selfishness on display. Jesus talked a lot about the heart; how it reveals the true person inside. Here we see how fickle people really are. Jesus is hanging on the cross, and the people are ridiculing Him. The Bible makes it clear throughout scripture that “true believers” never revel in the suffering of others. Yet we see this “reveling” here. Earlier in the week we saw large numbers of people celebrating Jesus’ entry in to Jerusalem. Now we see some of those same people either taunting Jesus to perform a miracle and save Himself, or shrinking back in silence, hiding out in fear of being persecuted. What does that reveal about their hearts? What does that say about the condition it’s in? What’s the condition of your heart? Is it where it needs to be? Is it humble? Is it trusting God? Really trusting God? Does it know it’s place in the larger scheme of things? Is it willing to follow Jesus, regardless of what others think? Get right with God today. When you do, you’ll discover where your true treasure lies.

29 The people passing by shouted abuse, shaking their heads in mockery. “Ha! Look at You now!” they yelled at Him. “You said You were going to destroy the Temple and rebuild it in three days. 30 Well then, save Yourself and come down from the cross!”31 The leading priests and teachers of religious law also mocked Jesus. “He saved others,” they scoffed, “but He can’t save Himself! 32 Let this Messiah, this King of Israel, come down from the cross so we can see it and believe Him!” Even the men who were crucified with Jesus ridiculed Him. Mark 15:29-32
