Money in the Bible.

Back in the 1880’s a certain Mr. Marsh learned that his aunt had died and included him in her will. The will read: “To my beloved Steven Marsh, I bequeath my family Bible and all it contains, along with the residue of my estate.”

Well, after the debts were paid off, only a few hundred dollars of the estate remained. That money was soon gone, and all Mr. Marsh had left was the family Bible, which he put in a storage box in the attic. Steven Marsh had to retire on a small pension. He lived in poverty for some thirty years.

Finally, in his nineties, he decided to move into his son’s home. While packing his belongings, he ran across his aunt’s Bible and began leafing through it. Mr. Marsh was astonished to find bank notes scattered through its pages. He counted more than five thousand dollars in cash, a very large sum at the time.

The man had spent most of his life in poverty when he could have been rich.

There was a treasure right at his fingertips in the word of God.

Is it possible that we, too, have an amazing treasure right at our fingertips?

There are millions who believe that the Bible is the most incredible book ever written. They are convinced the Bible is inspired by God and contains clear instructions on how to receive eternal life.
