“The Call To Intentional Living”

Matthew 6:19-24

In this passage, the call to intentionality is grounded in comparisons:

1. Two Treasures (Comparative Durability)

    Jesus offers two comparisons:

     – Treasures on earth

     – Treasures in heaven

(MULTILINE)

2. Two Bodily Conditions (Comparative Benefit)

    The comparisons of benefit:

     – That of a blind person (darkness)

     – That of a sighted person (light)

(MULTILINE)

3. Two Masters (Comparative Worth)

    Comparison of Worth (the focus of our worship):

     – God

     – any object of our own creation

(MULTILINE)
