Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ

No matter what your religious beliefs are, Jesus undoubtedly influenced, and continues to influence, many people around the world. I’m sure if given the chance, he’d win a popularity contest or two. This guy was definitely not known for his wealth. Here is a famous quote from Jesus:

"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:19-21)"

I think this quote has a lot of heart and merit. Jesus, of course, was talking about the kingdom of heaven here. He says there is no point in storing up worldly possessions when you can’t take them with you in the end. However, even if you look at this quote without religion or spirituality in mind, there is a meaningful message. Your heart is where you treasure is. The things that matter in life are not possessions. They are memories, emotions, experiences, and all things that dwell internally that money can’t buy. These are the things that make a person truly rich.
