Lesson prep

I read Luke 6 this morning and later used a verse to exhort one of my students. In the end, i was the one most deeply spoken to. Verse 45 says that "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good...for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." We know the mind is what stores things up in the heart, so if we can equate our heart to a treasure chest and our thoughts to the jewels in the treasure chest, it makes sense then that the proverbial treasure will overflow into our words and actions.
Since our thoughts are as jewels, this impresses a great responsibility to choose only the good jewels into our treasure chest. We will bring forth good deeds and words as we store up good treasure in ourselves. The challenge is to be courageous enough to reject the alluring imposters and to take only the truly good treasure into ourselves.
