THE UNIDENTIFIED KILLER [3]
[the case of the good life and the better life]
Who is looking after your valuables?
THIEF GUARDS do not come as thieves but as good-nature guards who would look after your valuables and guarantee your safety. They convince you with their credentials of competence and oil of eloquence to leave your goods in their care but they are actually after your valuables.
Judas Iscariot was a competent and caring companion of Christ the Messiah - competent enough to be appointed a disciple and caring enough to be put in charge of the welfare treasury. But Judas knew more than a thing or two about money and people. While entrusted with the responsibility of looking after the treasury, Judas was pulling strings of politics and power. He was negotiating and sealing deals at the back door. His mission was not just to rob his master but to kill him. He did it with a kiss on his master's face.
No matter your argument there are still Judas Iscariots with us today. We need to be wise and strategic. Good news is if they repent Christ's arms are wide open to receive them but if they don't repent the field of Akeldama is waiting for them.
Who is your trusted guard? Who is looking after your valuables? Who promised to protect your precious? Who has the key to your heart, your house and your hot tub? - where your money, children, privacy and future lies? Sometimes the Guard is the thief you need to watch. We cannot eradicate thief guards but we can protect ourselves and mitigate their effects with the word of God and divine strategies..
Think and Talk about It:
1. What are the common signs that a buddy or cherished companion could be a thief?
2. What should be our first response when we discover that our trusted keepers are the killers?
3. How might we protect our valuables and future of those coming after us?
