       So, people no matter their wealth have trusted in Jesus. That’s why the people with less are to be welcomed as equals. God isn’t so concerned about monetary wealth because, as we’ve been talking about, any wealth we accumulate in this world has to be someday relinquished when we transcend into the next life. Our wealth, whatever it is, has to go to someone else. For a lot of us it will be our children. But we cannot take it with us, and it wouldn’t do us any good even if we could. The US dollar has no value in the kingdom of Heaven. What has value for us are the rewards that are waiting for us when we get there, those rewards that we have been accumulating by doing things right in this life (namely, following God and his ways, and not doing things in sinful ways). Remember, all of us have a 401k per se in Heaven, and we get to choose what percentage we want to contribute to that 401k right now.
