Heaven's Welcome

What on earth is eternal? Robert Morris in his book The Blessed Life posits that people are eternal. I agree. People live for eternity. As we have often heard, "you can't take it with you." Jesus talks about this in a parable in the Gospel of Luke chapter 16. 
I have two sermons on this parable which give the background and highlight other pertinent points.  For example, is Jesus commending the steward in verse 8? I have an answer for you in the sermon. You can order one for free by sending an email. 
But let's focus our attention on verse 9 and I would like to share a thought on this very interesting statement. I think Jesus is telling us about a welcome that awaits us in heaven when we invest our money into souls. There are so many interests vying for our dollars. And some are worthy causes. But for the Christian, souls should always remain a top priority because people will live forever. Jesus is telling us that a welcoming party made up of those who came to the Lord as a result of sowing finances into souls, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.
So let us be generous to see souls won to Christ. You and I can invest in souls around the world. The fields are ripe unto harvest. We can be faithful stewards of the money God has entrusted us to be generous for souls.
Morris tells an amazing story about giving a $50 gratuity on a $10 meal. He attached a Gospel tract that had a prayer.  The next month he and his wife returned to the restaurant and were served by the same waitress. it turns out the waitress prayed the salvation prayer. She read the tract to her husband who also prayed the salvation prayer. Then she told the Morris' the money was very tight because her husband was in prison. How good is the Lord? 
My friends, let's not eat our seed, let's be generous to increase the Kingdom of God.
