Each investment company and financial advisor has their own investment strategy. They all promise you financial security if you invest with them. There are certain fundamentals that they all adhere to, but they can’t quantify the risks. Those risks are beyond their control. Markets tumble and unforeseen disasters destroy the value of investments.
Jesus promised a great return on certain investments. In Mark 10:29-30 Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or farms, for my sake and for the gospel’s sake, but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.” You will not be disappointed by the return you will get by giving your life to Jesus. Plus, in be end you receive eternal life.
Later, Jesus talked about another type of investment. He said, “But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all.” So by serving others we can become great. Invest in others and receive!
