In Luke 12, Jesus continues to provide advice on living a Godly life. Avoid hypocrisy. Don’t fear persecution; God knows every sparrow sold and every hair of our heads, He will not forget any persecution that we suffer. Acknowledge Jesus in the way we live. Recognise the natural tendency to collect possessions, and instead develop heavenly riches. Don’t be anxious about natural needs like food, clothing, etc. Be ready for the return of Jesus.
These are all things we struggle with, to varying degrees. Jesus is not giving this advice because it’s easy to follow, but because it’s something we all need to work on.
“Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also”. Let’s make sure our treasure is in heaven, seeking God’s kingdom first, following the example and advice of Jesus.
