MONDAY BIBLE STUDY 38

Matthew 13:44-46
The accumulation or
collection of valuable riches in
form of beautiful clothes, toys,
cars, houses, prizes won for
doing well in schools or sports
and many other good things of
life. The people of the world
set their love on these things
which they consider as great
treasures.
The Bible has different
meaning of treasure for all
friends of Jesus. Heavenly
treasures are not the things we
can see and touch physically
or buy with money. They are
gifts of God to His children. If
you are yet to recognise your
own gift, you must pray now, so
as to be a useful vessel in
God's House.
