Treasures on Earth vs. Treasures in Heaven

To your delight you learn that the spot where the coin lay helpless in its tomb was an international currency exchange back in the early 1950’s. Tragically the entire small town was destroyed in a fire. Several coins were lost as the people escaped the flames leaving the coins to their doom.

The Invitation

Jesus invited Peter, Andrew, James and John with these words, “Come, follow Me and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:18-22; Mark 1:16-20). Come join me in My Father’s work. Their response? They immediately left everything and followed Jesus.
“Come.” Come walk on the water with Me, Peter. And Peter did, but then he saw the waves and in fear, cried out, “Lord, save me!” And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him. (Matthew 14:28-29)
