Treasure Hunt by Catherine Daly-Weir
Treasure Hunt is a life-time inspirational call for believers to give their all to hunt the eternal TREASURE. It is this hunt that promises in return, a hundred-fold blessing in this life and guarantees eternal life. Since creation, responses to God's love have sent men and women on diverse escapades. A clear demonstration of their love for Jesus Christ has compelled some of them on journeys marked by untold hardships and persecution until their death. Many of these heroes are unsung and their names may not appear anywhere. Treasure Hunt is therefore a collection of life stories in brief of randomly selected ancient and modern Treasure Hunters who defied all odds to demonstrate their love for Jesus Christ in largely uncharted territories. Some were martyred while others abandoned their families for years on end and sometimes lost their lives in the process. In like manner, Jesus Christ left His residence in heaven to come down in order to reconcile the world back to God. That is the price He paid in order to secure salvation for all mankind who choose to believe in Him. He is the Treasure believers seek against all odds for He promises to reward labors of love. These Treasure hunters demonstrate that indeed the Kingdom of God is like a precious treasure hidden in a field. When a man finds it, he hides it and then in his joy goes and sells all he has and buys that field. Many are selling material possessions as their opportunity cost in buying the Treasure in order to also win the prize. What are you forgoing in order to find this Treasure and make it accessible to others. Choose to be a Treasure-Hunter for your labor of love will be rewarded by Jesus Christ.
