As diverse as the world is, there are millions of amazing things to focus on, delve into, explore, and search out. We can be forever learning, growing in knowledge and insight all our lives.
In the vast ocean of wonder there are thousands of crashing waves calling for our attention but not leading us to the one relationship, focus and passion that is changing everything forever.

On and on into every discipline, grace in the mind of humanity, the God who made all things...

Believers have direct access to the treasures of wisdom and knowledge...
Those reaping the benefits of the work and rule and reign of Jesus Christ by faith have access to the very heart of the Father in Heaven, the throne of glory, the heavenly temple in which Jesus, Our High Priest, is eternally calling forth a witness of all he accomplished to every heavenly host. Rev 4
Remember the crashing waves.

He has given us a simple way.....
"I am the Way" John 14:6
"Follow Me"
"Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. 25"For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.…" Matt 16:24-25
Follow him. He is Risen. He is alive. He communicates. He speaks. He encourages. He loves. Follow Him.
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear
fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless
you abide in Me. 5"I
am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he
bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.…" John 15:4
Your life is hidden in him
"Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God." Col 3:2-3
How many treasures are hidden in him that are intended to be poured into your life???
How many secrets of wisdom?
How many key pieces of knowledge - treasure knowledge - knowledge that alters the flow of humanity and changes whole families forever - are waiting to be handed to you?
How many treasures for Business...
Commerce
Government
Science
Family
Relationships
are hidden in Him, waiting for someone to pursue Him with an abandon and faith that pours out these treasures on the world.
The Kingdom rule and reign of Jesus is....
Not what we don't have but what we have - Two fish and some bread were enough. Mark 6:30-44
What do you have?
Access to all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
He is the treasure of heaven.
Expend extravagant Faith.
Use all your energy.
Spend all your desires on him first.
Life, Truth and the Way will unfold out of that face to face.
Ps 27
