Luke 12:34 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Where your treasure is - Men fix their hearts on their treasures, and often resort to the place where they have deposited them, to see that all is safe and secure. Let God be the treasure of your soul, and let your heart go frequently to the place where his honor dwelleth. There is a curious parallel passage to this in Plautus, quoted by Bishop Pearce on Matthew 6:21. Nam ego sum hic; animus domi est, sc. cum argento meo. "I am here; but my heart is at home, i.e. with my money."

Luke 12:34

34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
