Our scriptures for today is about Parables given by our Lord Jesus Christ. Friends, in our daily struggle to do what is right and make our ways holy we should have our Goal in our mind to keep our passion burning. Just like in a company they always have to set their mission and vision.
Just like a company who is trying to ensure they will be successful - they set their goals. They spend time to STOP and THINK about their GOAL or what would their vision be. Then to keep their pace at par with their goal they created their mission statement to remind them in their daily operation to be on track.
Likewise, we should have our Purpose in life and we should have the vision of our future. Do you know your purpose in life? Why are you living for?
In the parable of Jesus he said.
Matthew 13
44 “The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field, that a person found and hid. Then because of joy he went and sold all that he had and bought that field.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. 46 When he found a pearl of great value, he went out and sold everything he had and bought it.
Here he compare the Kingdom of Heaven and what it offers to two individuals who do want something bigger and better. The person who have found the treasure and the merchant who found the pearl of great value both of them WHEN they have found what seem to offer great things (such as Joy and Wealth) they would be willing to give up everything they have to get it. May it be done in our lives, you might have heard the greatness of heaven from different stories. I hope you could find time to search the bible about its greatness to prove it yourself.
Revelation 21
1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had ceased to exist, and the sea existed no more. 2 And I saw the holy city – the new Jerusalem – descending out of heaven from God, made ready like a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Look! The residence of God is among human beings. He will live among them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”
Brothers and Sisters, I hope that you would carefully search treasures that would last forever. When I have found the idea of heaven and what it offers. The idea that no more tears and no pain - that is something I would really want. Our time on earth is just too short, it is compare to a smoke.
James 4:14 You do not know about tomorrow. What is your life like? For you are a puff of smoke that appears for a short time and then vanishes
It would be stupid for us not to think about death. Everyone eventually dies or if we are too good we can be taken up to heaven not seeing death but still there would be the end in this life on earth. Let us prepare for it and do something about it. Let us keep our focus on the right path for Jesus and envision our life in heaven with him. When you keep that vision in your mind over and over you would see an incredible gain from the unseen beauty of eternity.
May we find what we were looking for then let us keep praying to have that vision in our lives to remind us during our testing so that we could be strong in doing what is right. Amen.
Friends heaven is so great! There is life and great joy in there beyond your imagination! Your Lord Jesus Christ is waiting for you there. Love God, obey the commandments and love your neighbors as you love yourself.
