God's Hidden Treasure - King James

God’s Hidden Treasure – King Jesus!
Colossians 2.1-7

In many adventure stories such as Robert Louis Stevenson’s famous Treasure Island, the plot hinges on the discovery of an ancient chart or map. The people who have found it realize that, if only they could understand and follow it, it would lead them to buried treasure that had been hidden for many years, perhaps centuries. They would be rich beyond their wildest imagination.

There are always problems. Some people think the map is imaginary, a fantasy. Others say the hero isn’t reading it right, isn’t understanding its secret codes. Inevitably, there are dangers to be faced, both in the journey to the far-off island and in the threat from other people who want to stop them getting there first.
