Treasure in Heaven (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798473382150)

Have you ever considered that the first-century Christians had such a grasp and focus on eternity and the glories that awaited them that, in many cases, they would not even recognize the gospel that we preach today? I believe this is why there is so much despair, hopelessness, depression, and other debilitating conditions amongst many believers in the 21st Century. It is because most preaching today focuses on the here and now, and there is very little real focus on Jesus and what awaits us in eternity with Him. Yet, everything written in scripture is from an eternal perspective because it is the Word of God and not the words of men. So when we read the Bible, we need to take off our temporal earthly lenses and replace them with an eternal and heavenly lens if we are to really grasp its meaning. This is the purpose of this book through focusing on the Biblical teachings of the early Jewish Apostles who wrote from this perspective. This book will reignite your faith, relight your fire and infuse you with fresh hope. It will give you hope both for this life in your service for the Lord and at the same time an excited longing and expectation for Jesus' soon return when we will be gathered to be together with Him forever.
