The Wrong Kind of Treasure On Tuesday, September 8th, 2015, a British Airways jet caught fire at the Las Vegas airport, sending smoke billowing into the air, after suffering what the pilot described as a "catastrophic failure" of the left engine. The plane—a Boeing 777 heading from the U.S. city's McCarran airport to London Gatwick—could be seen with flames around its fuselage. The pictures of a burning jetliner in Las Vegas were certainly riveting. But as the plane burst into smoke and flames, some observers saw something even more startling: People stopped during their evacuation to grab their luggage. Authorities are certainly concerned about planes that burst into flames, but they're also worried that we'd risk our lives to grab our carry-on bags. So what's the big deal with grabbing one carry-on bag? The FAA requires planes to be evacuated within 90 seconds, but as a Chicago-based air traffic controller wrote: Let's say the average delay time per bag is 5 seconds. This includes the time needed to reach up to open the overhead compartment, pulling the bag down, and the extra delay hauling it through a crowded aisle. If half of the 170 people on board Flight 2276 took the time to take their bag the evacuation would have taken an additional 7 MINUTES longer than necessary. Imagine being the last one to exit the smoke-filled cabin knowing that your one minute evac time is now over 7 minutes! One veteran pilot with a major U.S. airline said, "We're always shaking our head. It doesn't matter what you say, people are going to do what they do." Or as one blogger summarized this news story: "People love their carry-ons more than life itself." In a moment of crisis, many people will choose to risk their lives to save their possessions. This also illustrates the values and self-centeredness of people who put their possessions ahead of the lives of others. What would you risk your life for? Justin Pritchard and Sally Ho, "Vegas Plane Fire Passengers Escaped With Lives—

And Bags," Associated Press (9-12-15) As the article above illustrates, Americans have a fond affection for stuff. We often measure our value and success by what we have, and in a moment of potential disaster, people are willing to risk precious human life in order to grab a suitcase. Jesus had something to say about the kind of treasure we should be storing:

19 “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust

cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. 21 Wherever your treasure is, there the

desires of your heart will also be. Matthew 6:19-21 NLT

Keep the faith, Greg
