An Investment In Jesus

If you've followed the news at all throughout the last few weeks, it's hard to miss the continuous updates on the Titan submersible story; every article paints an unimaginable picture.

I can't help but wonder what was going through their minds, or if anything was at all, in those last few moments. The fear and helplessness they felt must have been awful.

All of the money and notoriety in the world couldn't save them; they were submerged in total darkness and in the middle of one hopeless situation. 

I don't know if they were aware of it all beforehand, but if so, you know they weren't thinking about their social standing in the world. Perhaps their hearts were with their families. One of them may have even called out to God as desperation continued to grow.

Their lives were over in the blink of an eye. 

I write all of this introduction to ask you these two important questions:

Where are you putting your treasures?

Are you making an investment in eternity?

There's nothing wrong with having money, but the love for it is where the problem begins; so much is wasted on unecessary expense, because the world equates success with an accumulation of stuff and a bucket list with all of its items checked off.

You will never go wrong with an investment in Jesus. His offer of salvation is a gift that's free. 

It doesn't matter who you know or where you've been, Christ seeks to save whosoever calls upon His name. There are many adventurous opportunities to take in this world, but there's none better than an personal relationship with Jesus; a priceless treasure that can never be taken away. 

Here are a few verses to think on today: 

"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 nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Matthew 6:19-21)

"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9)
