Our lesson this week focused on the "Hidden Treasure" and 2 Corinthians 4. The treasure is the soul-saving and life-changing gospel of Jesus Christ. We are challenged not to hide the treasure but to share it despite hardships, doubts, and fears within and around us.What if no one was willing to share with you the gospel of Jesus Christ?
We are reminded of the "heart " of the apostle Paul for souls, the "hardships" he endured while passionately devoted to spreading the gospel, and the "hope" he cherished knowing there is a "far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory" (2 Cor. 4:17). In light of eternity, the hardships of this life is but a fleeting moment of time. Someday, we will see our blessed Savior in all His splendid radiant glory.
Everyday people pass us by who do not know the Lord and are on their way to a Christ-less eternity. Who will tell them of the good news of the gospel? Will you go? (Matthew 28:19).

Though I missed your Sunday school class to teach a children's class, we were challenged with this same message tonight by the missionary to Venezuela. This is something I wrote about on my blog as well, as we need to move past apathy and complacency to see the spiritual needs around us and actively seek to meet those needs. I pray we will be willing to go.
