The Greatest Investment

With the threat of another recession and the continual rise and fall of the stock market, the last thing that people want to do is invest their hard earned money into an economy that continues to be so uncertain.  And with unemployment rates at record highs across the nation for the first time since the great depression, people are more apt to shove money underneath their mattresses than turn it over to the likes of asset managers and investment bankers.  It's really sad to think that the reality of all of this sadness is triggered by money.  There never seems to be enough of it, and when there is, it seems to run out just as quickly as its earned.  

Money sews dirty seeds that grow from them, the seven deadly sins: A prideful attitude when we feel invincible when we have it in excess; an envious heart when others have more than we do; a gluttonous outward disposition because we want to consume more than what our capacities (or bank accounts) allow for (which can result in credit card overages and in extreme cases, fraud); lust for more of it; wrath over our jealousy that others have more of it than we do; greed because it never wants to be shared,and we constantly want more; and, finally, sloth because the last thing we want to do is use it to advance anyone but ourselves.  Money is, as Timothy put it, is the root of all evil (1Timothy 6:10).

But what if there was a someone who could promise you a return on investment for life?  I can assuredly tell you that there is such a person, and He works for the Bank of God, located on Golden Road, Divine, Heaven, 77777.  First name Jesus, last name Christ.  He is available 24/7, 365 days a year (He even makes Himself available on his birthday--now that's commitment!).  He can turn YOU into a venture worth investing in for all eternity. No strings attached, no money down, just your spirit. He will give you something worth more than money, gold, or diamonds.  He will give you new life that will allow this investment to mature over time, so long as you meet with him as often as possible (I recommend several times a day). 

Relying on a world that is only temporary only creates temporary results that fade and diminish over time.  Houses can stand for decades, but need updates due to withered materials, and to keep up with the times (in the 1800's there was no such thing as central air).  Houses require money, time, and hard work.  But a house is nothing more than a place we live in, for our short time on earth.  And given the current real estate crisis, people are fleeing them just as quickly as they buy them.  Brick and mortar crumble over time.  In God's house, there is no need for renovations or updating because it stands on a solid foundation and the materials used to build it  have stood the test of time. And despite any stains we may have on our credit reports, how empty our bank and/or retirement accounts are, he wants us to live there with no money down, no obligation, no dotted lines to sign...for FREE!  The one and only stipulation is your life--saved by his son, the investor (John 3:7--"You must be born again"). Jesus offers us an eternity in God's house in Heaven with streets of gold and pearly white gates leading to it (Revelation 21:21), and debt free for all eternity. In this day and age, what could be better than that?  People are losing their jobs by the minute in this country, and their hope at the same time.  Jesus gives it all back with no interest attached.

No other worldly source or "religion" can make the same promise and commitment that Jesus can make to you.  He WAS the greatest investment that God made, and he put down his life as a down payment for all of us; he ransomed us from the grave and redeemed us from a slow death (Hosea 13:14; Hebrews 9:15).  Jesus paid for our freedom with his broken body and shed blood knowing the risks involved, but He still knew that there would be a big return on His investments.  Thousands of years since that dark day at Golgotha, He is still cashing in on this one time venture, and He didn't have to be reincarnated a dozen and a half times to to see this investment grow. Can the Bank of Buddha promise the same?  NO.  Invest wisely.  Invest in Jesus and be amazed as He transforms you into something that is worth more than anything this trivial, temporary world can offer.  HE gives you peace,  He gives you love, He gives you life.
