THE WORLD’S GREATEST TREASURE
Your Map to the World’s
Most Awesome Treasure: God!
imagine if you heard that a whole bunch of your best friends were coming over any minute to celebrate your birthday—and that each friend was pushing a shopping cart full of presents just for you.
Or suppose someone promised that if you closed your eyes and held out your hands you would get a big surprise—maybe a snuggly new puppy!
Or maybe you received a letter saying that tomorrow your family would fly away on a dream vacation—a month packed with beautiful beaches, thrilling theme parks, and star-packed pro ball games.
How would you react to any one of these nice bits of news?
You would get pretty excited. You probably would jump up and down. Maybe you’d even let loose a squeal of happiness!
But you might get even more noisy and excited if you knew beyond any doubt that there was a vast treasure buried in your yard—a treasure big enough to buy hundreds of toy stores or millions of puppies or send you and your family on vacation for the rest of your lives.
If you knew that your yard held such an awesome treasure, you would run outside and start digging with your bare hands. By day, you would search even in the hot sun or snowy cold. By night, you would light up your work with blazing spotlights.
The Greatest Treasure Ever
You might never experience a totally huge birthday bash…or have a new puppy land in your lap…or fly away on an incredible vacation. And there’s not much chance that you will ever find a buried treasure in your yard.
Yet you can find a treasure far bigger and better than anything you can imagine! It’s a treasure as real as the book you hold in your hands. It’s as near as your next heartbeat. And it’s something you don’t have to dream about—it can be yours for sure.
This treasure is so totally perfect that it will always supply your most important needs. It will guarantee you more happiness than owning stores stuffed with toys or houses wiggling with puppies. It will offer you a plan for your whole life that is more exciting than a trip around the world.
This treasure isn’t just something that makes you giggle and smile for a little while. It makes you happy forever and ever.
Do you want to know what this awesome treasure is? This treasure is God.
God is a one-of-a-kind treasure. When you find him, you can live as best friends with the king of the whole universe. He’s a friend bigger than a friend. He’s the one who can say, I am the LORD, and there is no other. There is no other God besides me
(Isaiah 45:5 GOD’S WORD). He created the earth and the whole universe. He has the power to calm huge storms and make blind people see. He’s the one who cares for our every need. And when Jesus died for our sins, he showed us a love greater than any other.
God’s love for you is so enormous that you can spend the rest of your life trying to grasp it. In fact, you can spend all of eternity learning about God’s love and living in it—yet there’s always more to enjoy! The greatest treasure you can ever possess is having the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is
(Ephesians 3:18).
The Treasure Map to God’s Heart
For every real treasure, there’s a map—a piece of paper that tells you exactly how to get to the good stuff.
Here’s the amazing part: You probably already have a copy of the treasure map that points you to God. This map that points you straight to him probably sits on your bookshelf or by your bed. The step-by-step directions you need to find the greatest treasure ever are contained in a book that you probably already own. This book is the Bible.
A map won’t do you any good if it’s parked on your bed stand or stuffed in your back pocket. After all, it’s not enough just to have
