Appropriating the Happiness That Is in You
Part 7: What Are the Four Choices Christ Offers in Your Life?

Discover how Jesus presents four pivotal choices that shape our lives and spiritual journey. As we delve into Matthew 6, we explore the profound implications of each decision and how they influence our faith and well-being.

Key Points Examined:

  • Two Investment Banks: The choice between investing in earthly wealth or heavenly treasures.
  • Two Visions: Living with spiritual clarity versus spiritual blindness.
  • Two Masters: The fundamental choice between serving God or materialism.
  • Two Ambitions: The difference between godly ambitions and worldly pursuits.
  • The Impact of Choices: Decisions affect our peace, purpose, and eternal security.

Expanded Key Points:

  1. Two Investment Banks: Jesus emphasizes the importance of where we place our money. Investing in the "bank of heaven" means contributing to eternal values rather than accumulating earthly wealth that can be lost or stolen. The true value of money is in providing resources to further God's kingdom and meet genuine needs.
  2. Two Visions: The choice between light and darkness is a metaphor for spiritual insight versus ignorance. A clear spiritual vision allows one to live with purpose and joy, while spiritual blindness results in confusion and misplaced priorities. Jesus encourages us to seek spiritual enlightenment to navigate life effectively.
  3. Two Masters: Jesus contrasts serving God with serving Mammon (materialism). He warns that attempting to serve both can lead to spiritual ruin. Choosing God as our master leads to a life of genuine fulfillment and peace, as opposed to the empty promises of material wealth.
