Within our human bodies, we possess the knowledge of Jesus.&nbsp; Our mission becomes sharing the news with the world around us.&nbsp; Inside us lives the treasure of Jesus, one we get to share with all we meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take a moment and think about the treasure you possess inside of you.&nbsp; We live in a post-Christian nation; people don\u2019t know the priceless joy Jesus brings to life on earth.&nbsp; Instead of filling themselves with Christ\u2019s Spirit, they search for other things to fill the God-sized void.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Share the treasure.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with children reminds me of how we should share the treasure.&nbsp; Teaching tennis camp, one little girl found a snail\u2019s shell.&nbsp; To her, she discovered a hidden gem.&nbsp; She immediately showed everyone else in the class, sharing her new treasure with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like, little children, we should share what we have found.&nbsp;

Tell people how Christ healed your broken heart, carried you through the storm, and rejoiced with you on the mountain top.&nbsp; Help others find the miraculous treasure Jesus offers when we place our faith in Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Inside of you lives the treasure of Jesus.&nbsp;
