The Treasure that is Christ
Manage episode 480067243 series 3004401
In Matthew 13: 44-46 our Lord told us about the greatest treasure a man could possess; the grace of God in Jesus Christ our Saviour. Most people in the world are caught up with wanting to become someone successful, prosperous, powerful, noted, admired and important. Sadly, many perish in that vain pursuit, and many die trying. The majority never really find what they set out to achieve, and those who do soon learn there is no satisfaction or contentment for their souls in their great achievements.
But God's hidden treasure that is not actually hidden, of inestimable value, costs us nothing, brings us peace and joy, contentment, and spiritual riches that cannot be quantified. Life in Christ Jesus, which is citizenship of the Kingdom of God, is only received in our most humble circumstance; when we realise how sinful, poor, wretched and hopeless we are apart from Christ.
There is only ONE way to be a Christian!
