Tuesday, October 19th, 2010. Today's cherished Nugget from guest blogger Pastor Bill.

A nobleman once gave a celebrated actress a Bible, telling her at the same time that there was a treasure in it. She, thinking he meant religion, laid the Bible aside. She died, and all she had was sold. The person who bought the Bible, on turning over its leaves, found a note for $2,500 in it. Poor creature! Had she read the book, she might not only have found the note, but the “pearl of great price.”

This scenario has played out many times, almost always with the same results. However, greater than any dollar value, placed inside is the message of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life, which is infinitely more valuable than any amount of money. In the pages of God’s Word is the gift of life. John recorded that gift of God in these words of Jesus as found in John 3:16:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

The gift of eternal life--what a treasure to be discovered!

"God, thank You for loving me and for saving me.
Amen."

Our God is an awesome God.
