Whatever we may want to say about the world we live in, there are attractions.
And we do get attracted to the things of this world, and that's why we have possessions of all kinds.
It may be money, property and whatever we put our interests and investments in.
We may not call these treasures, but they are certainly an integral part of our life and they are almost like a "must-have".
In the gospel, Jesus used parables to point to the kingdom of heaven. So He used ideas like treasure and fine pearls.
But we know that Jesus is not talking about something tangible. He is talking about something spiritual.
It is just like the face of Moses was radiant after speaking with the Lord.
Moses didn't have the light. He was only reflecting the light of the Lord, just like the moon reflects the light of the sun.
May the light of the Lord also enlighten our minds and hearts to know that the things of this world are to used for His glory and for the service of others.
May we also see that the Lord is our true treasure and may we walk in His light.
