“I do nothing on my own but say only what the Father taught me. And the one who sent me is with me- he has not deserted me. For I always do what pleases him.” John 8:28 & 29
We are all on a treasure hunt. Some of us have already found our treasure and others are still looking. There are people in this world that are hunting for their treasures in this life. Money is the most sought-after treasure in the world. The world believes that with money all of our problems will be solved. With enough money we can have anything that we want. We can have cars, jewelry, friends and anything else that will make life easy. What a mistake this is. What the world is missing is the fact that with money we also purchase true loneliness. Even though we may be surrounded by many people they are usually those who are seeking money for themselves. They may even be seeking our worldly treasures. Their friendship is hollow and most generally cannot be trusted. They will say what we want to hear and do what we want to do because we are allowing our money to direct our worldly path. What is missed in the worldly view is that the true treasure we should be seeking is the treasure that our God has sent from heaven in the person of Jesus Christ! The only treasure that lasts is our relationship with God. As Jesus told those around him in John 8, God never leaves nor does he ever desert us, just as he never deserted Jesus in his journey on this earth. His love never wanes, and he gives us true peace. We can do all things and have all that we need with a true and solid relationship with Jesus. And when the end of our journey on this earth has been completed, we will receive the greatest treasure of all, eternal life with our God in heaven! Heaven’s greatest treasure is God’s only begotten Son. Our Lord God loves each of us do much that He surrendered his prize treasure, his Son, Jesus Christ, to this world to be sacrificed for you and for me. If Jesus is the greatest treasure in heaven, then why wouldn’t we want to seek that treasure as well. As a treasure hunter let us be focused on the greatest treasure ever, Jesus Christ. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS AND AT ALL TIMES!
