Treasures


From the inspired text of the Biblical story,
The Wisemen opened unto Jesus their treasures.
This Christmas, what treasures have we for Jesus?
Most of us do not have gold, frankincense, or myrrh,
but we all have a treasury of something that God desires.
Let's consider a few of the prospective valuables we possess;
Things that really are more valuable than the Wisemen's treasury;
valuables dear to us that we heavily guard and deeply treasure.
I suggest that giving such things to Jesus makes us more like him.

Our Time
Our Religion
Our Education
Our Ambitions
Our Success
Our Usefulness
Our Relationships
Our Egotism
Our Self-interest/Self-image
