'You may take away from me my life, but you can never take Christ from my heart',these words were spoken by a Korean martyr before his execution by the communists'. These words bring such a challenge ,it reminds us were our true treasure lies,Christ, when you have Christ you have the greatest treasure in the world.The vast majority of people are blind to that fact and value the things of the world,to the exclusion of Christ,and are poorer,for all that.What have the billionaires got?,many envy them,but the poorest Christian is richer than them,Our beloved Saviour said,'what does it profit a person if they gain the whole world,and loose their soul?, Judas was a disciple of Christ,Christ considered him a friend,but Judas loved money,and that destroyed him,in Christ he could have had it all,the eternal blessings of heaven,but when he betrayed Christ he lost all that.When you have Christ you need never fear death, for we are told when we come to go through that dark valley He will be with us,and like that dear Christian who was martyred,even death cannot rob us of Christ.A young man said to me,if you have food and a roof over your head ,then everything else is a bonus, that's true but the biggest bonus is to know Christ,He is the greatest treasure anyone can possess.
