For every real treasure, there's a map, a piece of paper that tells you exactly how to get to the good stuff. Here's the amazing part: you probably already have a copy of the treasure map that points you to God. This map that points you straight to Him probably sits on your bookshelf or by your bed.The step-by-step directions you need to find the greatest treasure ever are contained in a book that you probably already own. This book is the Bible. Think about it: If you had a map showing the location of buried jewels and gold, you would work hard to figure out how the map could lead you to that treasure. You would press your nose up close to the map and move your eyes from corner to corner to corner to corner. You would study the map. No, not exactly the kind of studying you do at school, but the intense attention you give to things you love and enjoy. When you poke your nose into God's map, the Bible, and study it, you will come to understand its biggest point?that you can know Jesus as your Savior and friend and enjoy the great life He has planned for you. God is the greatest treasure you can ever find, and He's given you a map to get to Him-an exciting map that you need to understand, trust, and follow. Do you want to find the really good stuff? Then let's go on a treasure hunt
