Buy It!

ALL – Psalm 18:1-15
ALL – Proverbs 4:1-6
OT – Genesis 41:17-42:17
NT – Matthew 13:24-46

What would you do for a million dollars? That question has generated some interesting answers over the years—especially when the person asking the question is serious about giving his million dollars away.

We all love the thought of finding hidden troves of treasure. Finders keepers, right?

And yet we find the thought of eternity with Jesus boring?

What’s up with that? People imagine winning a million dollars and their eyes glaze over as they go into a private world of imagination and daydreams. But when those same people think of eternity with Jesus, they respond with a blank stare.

Eternity with Jesus in the Kingdom of heaven is going to be unfathomably more beautiful, more exciting, more comfortable, more fulfilling, more challenging and more satisfying than anything we could do with the entire world’s wealth! No wonder Jesus told this parable:

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure a man discovered in a field. In his excitement, he sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field—and get the treasure, too! – Matthew 13:44

Let me know how God’s been teaching you to treasure a future with Jesus.
