Vanity, vanity, vanity! People need to seek God's true heavenly riches that are in Christ Jesus. The heavenly riches is treasure which is eternal. We should not therefore, love and worship money - focusing on Caesar's temporary riches and not God's eternal riches.
Thanks for the insightful message that makes sense to anyone whose mind has been enlightened and they no longer are blinded by the god of this world (Satan and the temporary riches and wealth of the world). Jesus expressed the same sentiments:
- When He told the devil/tempter off as in Matthew 4:8-9 or Luke 4:5-8
- When talking to the rich young ruler - recorded in Matthew 19:16-30; Mark 10:17-31 and Luke 18:18-30
- When He taught on the parable of the rich fool in Luke 12:13-21
- When He talked about a person gaining the whole world and losing their soul as in Matthew 16:25-27 or Mark 8:35-37
