~ Locks, Bars and Treasure ~
“One day very soon there will be no need for locks and bars. Jesus Christ is going to come back to rule and reign as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords forever! That’s my hope this morning! That’s what sustains me! That is my future according to God’s Holy Word!
Isaiah 45:2-3
I will go before thee, and make the crooked places straight: I will break into pieces the gates of brass and cut in sunder the bars of iron: And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou may know that, I the Lord, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.
Let me ask you something: Where is your treasure? Jesus answered this question in the Book of Matthew.
Matthew 6:19-21
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 not rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through or steal. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Let us strive to place our treasures in the hands of Jesus for safe keeping, until he returns to pay in full all those who love and are looking for him!”
