Do you remember the excitement of Treasure Island and the search for buried treasure? You can probably recall other stories and movies that featured the discovery of a treasure map, marked with an "X" and hotly contested by good and evil forces as they sought vast and ancient treasures from shipwrecks, pirates or kings from a bygone era. Last night our small group was looking at Colossians, chapter 2 and one verse jumped out: (verse 3) "In Him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden." It occurred to me that when we have found Jesus by faith we have found the true treasure map (marked with a cross instead of an "X") and it is our life quest to open that treasure chest and spend our lives appreciating and valuing and applying those treasures of knowledge and wisdom He opens to us!
