A Hid Treasure

Listen from:
Old Joel was a Christian and he used to hide his money between the pages of his Bible. He thought the money would be safe there.
One night some robbers broke into his house. They hunted all over for his money. They emptied his drawers, they ransacked his cupboards, they lifted up his carpets, they looked behind the pictures. But they didn’t find any money. They never thought of looking in the old Bible which was on the living room table all the time.
The Bible is full of precious treasures. It contains the wonderful story about Jesus the Saviour of sinners. It tells us about God the Father who sent His Son to be the Saviour of the world. It tells about the heavenly home which He has prepared for His children. It tells, too, of Hell, the dreadful place to which all who reject the Lord Jesus will surely go.
Read the Scriptures daily, dear reader, for they are able to make you wise unto salvation (2 Tim. 3:1515And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. (2 Timothy 3:15)), and they will lead you “in the way everlasting.”
“How sweet are Thy words unto my taste! Yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth.” Psa. 119:103103How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! (Psalm 119:103).
