Christ is the Treasure

During my devotional time I came across this article by Adrian Rogers. I felt impressed to share it with you. It expresses the desires of my heart, I truly desire to draw near to Christ and discover the fullness of relationship with Him. "In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." (Colossians 2:3) "Many years ago, the Spanish Armada was sailing off the coast of Florida. A hurricane struck, and the ships laden with gold and silver ingots sunk to the bottom. People knew the treasure had been lost and believed one ship went down near Vero Beach in Fort Pierce, Florida. Fisherman fished over that spot, sometimes doubtless hanging a hook on a lump of gold. One day some explorers went diving, and there it was in the shallow water. In fact the water was so shallow that any of us could have swum to the bottom and brought up millions of dollars. In the same way, I believe there are many of us yet to discover the full treasure we have in Jesus Christ. Have you plunged your heart deep into the treasure of the Lord? Or are you living life in the shallow end, wondering if the treasure will ever come to you?" Will 2010 be the year that each of us decide to move beyond a shallow relationship into a life that is fully surrendered to Christ and one that truly desires the fullness of all that God has to offer? Each of us must examine our own lives and make the appropriate decision.
