The Treasure
The Treasure began as a reflection on the words from the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus speaks about the fleeting nature of earthly treasures—how moths, rust, and thieves destroy what we store up. I envisioned a scene of decay and destruction, capturing the transitory nature of worldly wealth. But as I continued to study the passage, my thoughts kept drawing to Revelation 21:6, which speaks of how He is "the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." I couldn’t get it out of my mind.
As this verse echoed in my thoughts, the painting began to shift. The focus moved from the destruction of earthly treasures to the eternal nature of God. I realized that the focus isn’t on what we shouldn’t store up, but on the treasures we should store—God, His Word, His voice, and His love. He, who is the beginning and the end, transcends time and decay. The fulfiller of history. Lets store up that treasure, The Treasure.
