“Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may
know what is the hope to which He has called you, what are the riches of His
glorious inheritance in the saints,…”
(Ephesians 1:18)
Have you dreamed about inheriting treasures from a long
lost relative? To be "in the
will" would change your life forever!
Consider the rags-to-riches story of Jack Wurm. In 1949, Mr. Wurm was unemployed and
bankrupt. As he strolled along a San
Francisco beach, he found a bottle with a scroll inside. He discovered that this "message in a
bottle" was the last will and testament of Daisy Singer Alexander, heiress
to the Singer Sewing Company fortune.
The faded paper read: "To avoid confusion, I leave my
entire estate to the lucky person who finds this bottle, and to my attorney,
Barry Cohen; share and share alike."
The courts discovered that she had written the note and thrown the
bottle into the Thames River in London.
It had drifted across the oceans to San Francisco and reached a
penniless Jack Wurm. Jack inherited over
$6 million in cash and Singer stock.
Similarly, God has sent us a "message in a
Bible." Within this book you'll
find the "last will and testament of our Lord" with a different kind
of inheritance -- spiritual treasures.
How will you respond? Will you
walk past it? Or, like Jack Wurm, will
you step out in faith and take action?
Failure to take God's promises seriously leads to spiritual
poverty. Jack's inheritance can't begin
to compare with the spiritual wealth God offers His heirs!

God's Treasure: Ephesians
