A NEWS-BOY found a bright stone and carried it in his pocket for weeks, when it was discovered to be a diamond’ worth $2,000. He was richer than he knew. He did not appreciate his treasure, because he did not know its value. Are you the possessor of a Bible? Do you know its value? It is not a flashing diamond, but an exhaustless mine of eternal riches. You do not know how rich you are, if you have the Bible.
Examine your treasure. God has been better to you than you thought. You thought you only had a stone—lo! it is a magnificent diamond. From it shines every beauty. It is “able to make you wise unto salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.”
