Riches
In 1985 Richard Pryor starred in movie called "Brewster's Millions." The basic idea is that a man was told that he could inherit $300 million if he could prove himself by spending $30 million in 30 days. It sounded like a great idea except that he could not give the money away, could not invest it, could not tell anyone why he was doing it, and had to end up with nothing at the end of the month. If he was broke at the end he was a winner, because there was a bigger prize that others did not see.
That generally describes the Christian view of possessions and the world. The idea of seeking the kingdom of heaven above everything else is one of the basic premises of Christianity. Christ constantly urged believers to deny themselves, take up their crosses and follow him. In essence he wanted them to lose themselves in the pursuit of God's kingdom. There is another prize, that the world can't see that awaits them.
As Christians, we know that our faith carries several paradoxes. We become great by being servants. We gain when we lose and we live when we die. The world can't quite understand those ideas, but we know that there is a bigger prize that the world can't see; it's the approval of Christ our Lord.
