There is one that doesn't:
"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. (Mat 6:19-20)ESV
***Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, ***
I used to take the magazine BIBLE ARCHEOLOGY REVIEW.
I have never forgotten three special articles.
In one, the archeologists found a small jar of Philistine Silver.
Then there was the real estate deeds of ownership found in the cave of the Letters from the Bar Cohaba era.
Then a small jug of Bizantine gold coins.
I often whonder what happened to the people who hid each treasure and why they were unable to recover them.
Then there is the joke of the miser who saved all his money. On his deathbead he told his wife to put the money in his coffin so he could buy his way into heaven.
The wife complied with his wish. She took all the money to the bank, put it in her account, and wrote out a personal check for the ammount to God and had it buried with her husband.
Touche!
Quite right.
They may take your life, but they'll never take your freedom (thanks for that one, Mel Gibson).
