"The Bare Necessities?"

When I logged onto the internet tonight, the first thing that caught my attention was a question on the AOL Top News. It said: If you needed to evacuate your town what would you take and what would you leave? That, I would say is quite thought provoking. After pondering it for a bit, I thought about Jesus -- how would he expect me to handle such a situation? He immediately brought to my mind a scripture, from his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:19 - 21 where it says: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth" (verse 19), But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven" (Verse 20), "For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."
Many people are finding it hard to leave their treasures behind, i.e., their homes; things they have worked so hard most of their lives to achieve. They have spent hundreds and thousands of dollars not only in schooling but in their life's work to get the homes, furnishings, clothes, cars; all the necessities and luxuries they have always longed for. It's a hard decision to just up and leave it all behind, and for what? To save your life and the lives of those whom you love? Nonsense! What is a life without all those treasures you have worked most of your life to achieve?

What did Jesus do? He only gave his life and all he had to save us from eternal destruction -- so what!
What did I say??? Here's what I'm saying! Jesus' main purpose was to sacrifice himself and all he had for us, which is what he did. I'm sure as a person in the flesh, it was not easy, but because he was obedient he did his father's will -- HE GAVE IT ALL! (I'm not by all means minimizing what Jesus did, I'm trying to make a point).
Read Matthew 6: 24 and 25. Read Matthew 6:33 & 34 which sums up the fact that we should seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all of these things shall be added unto you.

When Christ was here, he had no home or no place to lay his head, but he went about his father's business.
I say all of this to say: "If I had to be evacuated from my home, what would I take and what would I leave behind? (One of my favorite Disney movies is "Jungle Book") where Ballou, the Bear sings "Look for the bare necessities the simple bare necessities." What would your bare necessities be?
