Riches in Glory

The Million Dollar Life

By William M. Self, Sr.

In Glory, gold will be under our feet and Jesus at our side

The Riches of Jesus’ Love, Wisdom,

Knowledge and Understanding

Are far more valuable than streets of Gold

 

 Riches in Glory

Gold, that highly sought after metal, has been

 used for jewelry, coinage and industrial use.

Long before recorded history, gold

has been considered a valuable metal.

In the life time of a Baby Boomer,

gold has grown in value from $35 a Troy

 ounce to over $1800 a Troy ounce.

Even with a pull back from the highs in 2011,

 many investors believe it won’t be long and

new highs will be put on the value of gold.

According to the 2012 beneficiary data

 from Social Security, the average retired

worker receives $1262 in benefits a month.

That is about one ounce of gold in 2013.

Now consider this, God says…

“My God shall supply all your need according

to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

For those of us who think of our

needs being meet in hard currency…

Think of the streets of

Heaven are made of gold.

 

If there were people in heaven so poor they had to live

on the streets, they would sleep on gold every night.

  

Gold has its beauty but it does

not have its value in heaven.

Gold will be so common we will walk on it.

In heaven, the true value of life will be clearly seen.

  

It will be Jesus Christ.

For the believer, the inheritance of the saints will

include gold, silver, pearls and other costly gems.

But the architectural design of these structures

 will not be the glory of our inheritance.

It will be the glory of Jesus...

Full of love, wisdom, knowledge, and understanding.

Keep your needs in perspective.

Our greatest “Riches in Glory” is Jesus. 

 

  

Scripture Reading

Ephesians 1:18-19 NIV

the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19 and his

incomparably great power for us who believe.

Philippians 4:19 NKJV

Revelation 21:1-3 NIV

 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and

the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.  2 I saw

the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

 prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.

Revelation 21:21 NIV

The twelve gates were twelve pearls,

each gate made of a single pearl.

The great street of the city was of pure gold,

like transparent glass.
