When I was a lad going along the highway searching for returnable soda bottles was the only way to make money. Seeing two or three bottles together in a ditch was like finding treasure.
The gold rushes of centuries past were made up of men with gold fever seeking treasure.
The account of Noah in the Old Testament is about a man who found treasure. It was called grace:
Genesis 6:8
But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
That treasure was enough to save him and his entire family from the coming judgment. We also, thousands of years later, can find this treasure and make it our own.
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.
How about you? What is the value of your stuff?
Think about it.
