The Consolation Prize.


Jesus spoke of a Treasure in a Field and a Pearl of Great Price. (Matthew 13:44-46)

This is the Ultimate Prize.

Traditionally this is thought to be the gift of the Holy Spirit.

But I have a different view.

On Earth we hanker after worldly rewards: money, possessions, power, status, pleasure, fame, authority.....

But I believe that this Ultimate Prize is the Consolation Prize.

If we forego all the empty prizes of the world we will find this Ultimate Treasure.

It is Love.

The treasure in our own hearts.
