Summary: A heart-felt message about the treasures found in God.
1. WHAT ARE THE TREASURES?
That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
2. ARE THEY WORTH FINDING?
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
3. HOW CAN THE TREASURES BE FOUND?
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
4. HAVE WE ANY CLUE WHERE TO SEARCH AND FIND?
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
5. WHICH WAY MUST WE TAKE?
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
6. IS THERE ANYTHING TO AVOID IF WE WOULD NOT FIND THE TREASURE?
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
7. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET IT WRONG?
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
8. HAVE WE ANY ASSURANCE THAT WE MAY FIND IT?
If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God.
9. HOW MANY CAN POSSIBLY FIND THE TREASURE?
And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
10. HAS THE TREASURE YET BEEN FOUND BY ANYONE?
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
11. WAS THERE REJOICING WHEN THEY FOUND IT?
Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
12. WHERE IS THE BEST PLACE TO INVEST OR LAY UP OUR TREASURES?
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
