Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you. –  Matthew 5:11-12

Written in “Reward in Heaven” is that the rewards of this world are temporary and easily lost but our sure reward because of our Redeemer is that we become heir to God’s rich treasure of eternal blessings. The currency of God’s kingdom is grace and the flow of grace from our Lord Jesus Christ gives us something to ease the struggles of our earthly life.

Like the song Imagine by MercyMe, if we accept Christ as Savior, we inherit an eternal reward beyond what can be imagined.
