An Inheritance

One thing that some fathers try to do is to leave an inheritance of some sort to their children. It may be land, a home, perhaps even an amount of money. Even a poor man can provide a way for his children to have an opportunity to receive an inheritance. This is an inheritance that we ourselves have an opportunity to receive. Isn't that good news? Receiving riches that we did not have to do anything to earn. An inheritance that is received simply because we are the child of a loving father.

That inheritance is a mansion in heaven and crowns. Being able to eat from the tree of life. No more pain or sorrow. Praising the Lord in fellowship with all of our brothers and sisters. What greater riches are there to be had!

Are you providing your children with the opportunity to receive that selfsame inheritance. Are you teaching your children of the love of Christ. Are you bringing your children up in the ways of the Lord. Or are you leaving it up to someone else to provide for them, perhaps leading them to complete poverty or just leaving them on their own in hopes that they may find those riches by themselves.

Will you attempt to pass that inheritance on to your children or will you whittle it all away.

Tell your children of the wonderful Gospel today.
