Luke 12:22-23

Jesus said to His disciples, “For this reason I tell you, do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat; or about your body, as to what you will wear. For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.

The perspective of Jesus encourages us to think beyond the material to the eternal. Our decisions and choices have eternal ramifications for our lives. When we focus on Jesus and the word, we focus our perspective on the value of a saved soul and our value to God. There is a Heaven to gain and a hell to shun.
