The Treasure Hunt I still remember the thrill of my childhood treasure hunts. My siblings and I would search high and low, following cryptic clues and hints, until we finally found the hidden treasure. But what if I told you that there's a far greater treasure hunt underway – one that leads to eternal life? In John 5:39, Jesus says, "You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me." The Pharisees and scholars of Jesus' day were meticulous in their study of Scripture, but they missed the treasure right in front of them – Jesus Himself! They were so focused on the words that they overlooked the Word made flesh. Today, we can fall into the same trap. We can become so enamored with studying Scripture that we forget to apply its teachings to our lives. We can become so familiar with the words that we neglect to deepen our relationship with the Word – Jesus Christ. As you read and study Scripture, remember that its ultimate purpose is to point you to Jesus. He is the treasure, the eternal life, and the fulfillment of all God's promises. Don't just study the map; follow it to the Treasure Himself. Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, help me to seek You in the Scriptures and to apply Your teachings to my life. May my study of Your Word lead me deeper into a relationship with You, the Treasure of eternal life. Amen. #engraftedword #engraftedworddevotional #dailydevotional #christiandevotional #godswordfortoday
