is of value if you

Is this how you want to go out? To only be remembered by a stash of cards valued only by people who appreciate a sport? Before the throne of eternity, how far will a Ted Williams rookie card take you? That treasure you have stored up will not follow you, will it?

Cousin or intimate family member, it matters not. Is that all your inheritance will be? A box of cards whose value in the afterlife will be less than the cardboard on which it is written?

There is a treasure open for all to see, and not just under the eyes of those who found you deceased. There is a greater treasure, printed in the Book of Life rather than on a Topps or Fleer. It is the treasure of knowing God. It is the inheritance of eternal life in the kingdom of your Father. One day, your life will be appraised before the throne.

That shall read eternal separation or adopted child. Which shall it be?
