Just think about how many ships and sailing vessels have been sunken into the ocean over thousands of years. The ship and all it’s contents resting on the ocean floor. From plain merchant ships to grand galleons, these ships have become the target for those on the quest to find sunken treasure.
To find this treasure is no easy task, however, as it takes special training, equipment, and most importantly, the willingness to spend countless hours searching. And searching. And searching. Because if sunken treasure was so easy to find, there would be none left as they would all be found.
It takes a seeking attitude to find that treasure, just like it takes a seeking heart to obtain the things of God.
Matthew 7:7-8 “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
When you seek for something it means to try to find, to look or search for. Also, to ask for, or to try to acquire or gain.
But just as with everything else on Earth, the treasure under our oceans only last so long. Eventually they will all fade away. This is why it is far more important to spend our time seeking for the treasure that will last forever.
During many treasure hunts, clues will be left behind for you to follow to find the next clue, until eventually you find the treasure itself. The Bible contains all of the information that we need to find that prize of eternal life in God’s kingdom. Step by step, day after day we are in pursuit of that prize, completing each task set before us, and moving onto the next.
You cannot find a treasure unless you go out looking for it. That is the point of a treasure hunt. You need to seek for it if you want to find it. But unlike the prize of a treasure hunt on the Earth, where only one person can receive it, the prize that Jesus offers is available to everyone who follows His message.
Colossians 3:1-2 “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.”
You need to believe the messages that Jesus has placed in His Bible. All the information is already there, and all we need to do is go and look for it. Search the scriptures, for therein lies salvation. Seek after God, and He will reward you.
Hebrews 11:6 “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
The kingdom of heaven is at hand! It’s time to go out and find it. Go seek those treasures!
In Christ,
Andrew
