The Sermon on the Mount - Two Masters

Christianity

Matthew 6:19-34

Jesus' teaching on treasure and worry forms a chiasm with the impossibility of serving two masters as the central point.

ADo not lay up treasures on earth but in heavenA'

BWhere your treasure is, there your heart will beB'

CThe eye is the lamp of the body (good eye vs. bad eye)C'

XNO ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS -- YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD AND MONEY

C'Therefore do not be anxious about your lifeC

B'Consider the lilies -- God clothes the grass of the fieldB

A'Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousnessA
