EUREKA STONE READ: Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Matthew 13:44 THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 47-48 1 John 3 In 1867 on a farm in South-Africa, 15-year-old Erasmus Jacobs saw a stone glistening in the sun. The shining rock was eventually reported to a neighbour, who wanted to buy it from the family. Not knowing its value, Erasmus mother told the neighbour, "You can keep the stone if you want it". Eventually, a mineralogist determined the stone to be a 21.25 carat diamond and worth a great sum. It became known as the "Eureka Diamond"(The Greek word eureka means "I found it!") Soon the fields near the Jacobs' farm soared in value. Underneath the land was one of the richest diamond deposits ever discovered. Jesus said the value of being part of God's kingdom is like treasure: "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field"(Matthew 13:44). When we put our faith in Christ, a spiritual "eureka moment" arrives. God gives us forgiveness in His Son. It is the greatest treasure that could ever be found. Now all of life can begin to center on the value of becoming a joyous member of His eternal kingdom. It's our joy to share that valuable discovery with others - Dennis Fisher How we need a keen awareness. Of the joys God wants to share! Priceless treasures found in Jesus - We are rich beyond compare! - D.DeHaan God's kingdom is a treasure meant to be shared. |
