Colossians 2:2-3
The Greatest Treasure Hunt Leads to Jesus!
Welcome, Faith Force Treasure Hunters! Today, we’re discovering that all of life’s greatest treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in one amazing place – Jesus Christ Himself, as shared in Colossians 2:2-3.
Verse Of The Day:
"I want their hearts to be encouraged and united in love, so that they may have the complete riches of full assurance of understanding, and have the knowledge of God's mystery, which is Christ himself. In him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." (Colossians 2:2-3)
Have you ever gone on a treasure hunt where all the clues led to one incredible prize? Paul reveals that the ultimate treasure hunt of life leads to Jesus!
Paul wants our “hearts to be encouraged and united in love” so we can discover “the complete riches of full assurance of understanding.” When we come together in love, we can better understand “God’s mystery, which is Christ himself.” Jesus isn’t just part of the treasure – He IS the treasure!
Here’s the most amazing discovery: “In him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Every piece of wisdom you could ever need, every bit of knowledge that truly matters – it’s all hidden in Jesus like the greatest treasure chest ever! We don’t need to search all over the world for wisdom and understanding. The ultimate treasure hunt ends with Jesus, who contains every spiritual treasure we could ever want or need!
Hidden Treasure Hunt Map:
Create your own “Christ’s Hidden Treasures Map” using brown paper aged with tea or coffee! Draw a treasure map with different locations representing areas of life (school, friendships, family, future) and mark each spot with “Jesus has wisdom here!” Create small treasure chests using matchboxes covered with gold foil, and hide tiny scrolls inside with Bible verses about wisdom and knowledge. Set up a treasure hunt in your house or yard where each clue leads to discovering that Jesus has the answer. End your hunt at a big “X” that says “All treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ!”
Time For A Prayer:
Dear Jesus, thank You for being the ultimate treasure that contains all wisdom and knowledge! Help our hearts be encouraged and united in love as we discover more about You. Thank You that we don't have to search everywhere for wisdom - it's all hidden in You! Open our eyes to see all the amazing treasures of understanding You have for us. You are our greatest discovery! Amen.
Keep discovering hidden treasures in Jesus, Faith Force Treasure Hunters! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge you could ever need!
