Part of the treasure in heaven that Jesus talks about is the feeling of purpose and satisfaction a person has when they know they are performing the will of God. Those who put themselves and money first often complain about life feeling empty and meaningless. Jesus pays those who serve him with meaning and spiritual abundance in their lives and hearts instead of money.

Tim Crawshaw
Tim Crawshaw (* 1978) ist ein australischer christlicher Autor, Sprecher und Landschaftsfotograf, der vor allem in Tasmanien wirkt. Er vertritt eine charismatisch-evangelikale Spiritualität, die Naturerlebnisse mit geistlicher Einkehr verbindet und eine persönliche Gottesbeziehung abseits institutionalisierter Kirchenstrukturen betont. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Schriften alltagsnahe, kontemplative Impulse über die Zuwendung Gottes und die Freiheit von religiösem Leistungsdenken.
