TREASURES

As a small child growing up on a west Texas ranch, I often dreamed of finding a buried treasure. On several occasions, I made up some sort of box or package and buried it. Later I went back to the spot and dug it up, pretending to find pirates’ gold, or some other treasure.

As adults, many times we may dream of a way to “dig up” a great treasure. Seldom does this happen. But it’s not important. What’s important, is finding God’s great treasure: Jesus Christ, the Savior. Through Him we find the greatest treasure of all: eternal life.

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)
