"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father's glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done....."
Christ Jesus spoke so much about Treasure and Reward in these 5 sentences, that is almost impossible for me to overlook the TRUTH of what HE was saying.
What will I have gained if I find all of the hidden treasures that exist in this world, or if I ignore the eternal reward that God has Promised me through HIS Son, who gave HIS Life in exchange for my soul?
What is even more startling, is this;
I will have forfeited my rights to an INHERITANCE!!!
I understand an even greater TRUTH through all this, that all the silver and gold is NOTHING, compared to HIS riches in Glory that are rightfully mine,
because God Promised, through these WORDs of HIS Son!
Holy Spirit will guide my every step, leading me into HIS Glorious Presence!
