They were 5000 gathered on a hillside. Jesus had just fed this multitude so food was not uppermost in their minds.

Never one to miss an opportunity, He therefore did what He often did - laid it on the line.

“Do not work for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man shall give to you, for on Him the Father, even God, has set His seal of approval” (John 6:57)

Over a quarter of a century ago, Tucky and I were reminded of this scripture from Matthew as we stood at the foot of massive pyramids.

Thousands of years had passed since those ancient Egyptian Pharaohs built these giant stone expressions of temporal wealth and ego. Monuments to their desired immortality filled with treasures for their next anticipated life.

And we thought to ourselves. They were not timeless on earth. We are not timeless on earth…therefore to make sense of it all…something more than material goods must have our attention or we are woefully at a spiritual disadvantage.

They had reigned from golden thrones with a silver spoon in their mouth. They had at least realized that men would try to break in and steal these earthly riches once their feet no longer trod the geography of their Kingdom.

So all manner of convoluted tunnels and dead ends were created to foil the looters. It didn’t work. Thieves still broke in and stole what obviously these ancient rulers had not been able to take with them.

History simply recorded one more time that the prescription for better living in this world or the next is not collecting that which moth and rust can corrupt on thieves break in and steal.

Admitted…!!! Poverty on earth is not a good or recommended thing, but if one has no food for the soul that is an even greater poverty
