A few years ago, a wealthy man hid a million dollars somewhere in New Mexico. He publicized the existence of the hidden treasure and periodically published clues to its location in the form of riddles. Dozens of treasure hunters began the hunt for the treasure. I believe that someone finally found the million dollars recently. This person correctly deciphered the clues and followed this knowledge to his reward.
Colossians 1:27 says, “To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” God chose to make known to us His plan and provision for our salvation. The reward for finding these riches is the hope of glory. He gave His message to the apostles and prophets, who faithfully declared God’s mercy. We must follow the clues we have been given through their words and through God’s own Son Jesus Christ. The reward, which is far greater than any worldly treasure, is not just available to one treasure hunter, but rather is prepared for all who believe in Jesus.
