A Heavenly Focus // Matthew 5:10

A Christian’s citizenship is in Heaven. Heavenly values are inconsistent with worldly ones. Jesus taught that we are not to acquiesce to the culture but help transform it by representing Him in all that we think, say, and do. This will put believers in opposition to the ways of the world, but we are again reminded this place is not our home. When we represent Jesus in this crooked and corrupt culture, we are, as He said, “storing up treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:19-20). May Heaven be our current and constant focus, for that’s where the blessings of God will be found.
