Every once in a while there comes along an opportunity that is so fabulous that it is too good to pass up. However, such opportunities often require us to give up all our other options and put all our eggs in one basket. In Matthew 13:44-46, Jesus told two very short parables about the kingdom of heaven. In each parable, a man seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, giving up everything for the sake of gaining very much more.
In the Proverbs, two women invite us to dine with them and embrace them, Lady Wisdom and Woman Folly.
When Israel reached Mount Sinai, God showed that he would provide all they needed.
To be ready for Jesus’ coming, we need to be doing what he has already told us to do.
