Earthly possessions can possess tremendous value one moment and become worthless the next. The story of a luxury automobile lost aboard the Titanic illustrates how quickly material wealth loses its significance when life itself is at stake. Jesus warns that gaining the entire world means nothing if a person forfeits his soul. True riches are not found in accumulated possessions but in a saving relationship with Christ and a life devoted to God’s eternal purposes.
Scripture: Mark: 8:36, Luke: 12:13-21
