Digging Deep into Matthew 6:19

"Matthew, sixth chapter, commencing at the nineteenth verse
---Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth
and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: 
---but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Now, this is a very important matter to us. 
Q: Who is the speaker? 
A: It is Jesus Christ. 
Q: Who is He? 
A: The only begotten Son of God. 
Q: Who is He? 
A: Our Savior; One who left the royal courts of heaven, laid aside His high command in heaven, and clothed His divinity with humanity.
 
He has given you His precious Word. It is full of hidden treasures. --He wants you to explore, 
--work the field, 
--and you will find the treasures, and you will sell everything that you might buy the field that contains the treasure. There are the jewels of truth that are to be searched for as hidden treasures. 
 
But just as soon as some enter college and get a little bit of knowledge they think they know more than God. And you hear of the higher critics.
And the higher critics come in. 
Q: Who are they? 
A: Poor, finite man on probation to see if he will be loyal and true to God that he can stand under the blood-stained banner of Prince Emmanuel, and that he can become a child of God and an heir of heaven." E.G.W.
