"The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid again, and from joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls, and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it." (Matt. 13:44-16)
Our grands are treasure hunting this week at VBX's (Vacation Bible X-treme) Sontreasure Island, and our "pearl-of-a-girl" Rebecca, AKA Pearl Shellfish, is one of the ongoing drama stars.
According to Wikipedia, Vacation Bible School started in 1894, when Sunday school teacher, D. T. Miles in Hopedale, Illinois began teaching daily Bible lessons to children during the summer. Today, thousands of churches and thousands upon thousands of volunteers continue the practice - for the sake of tradition? NO, for the sake of bringing millions of little sons and daughters into the kingdom of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
One Day, there will be a kingdom on earth with the laws which Christ set down - the Day King Jesus returns in power and great glory and establish His throne, AKA the Kingdom of God, a pearl of great value.
Beloved, have you found God's treasure? Treasure hunt today in the Bible's New Testament Gospel of John!
