Wording of this Handout:

Digging a little further

Once upon a time there was a man who bought a few acres of land. One day he came to look at his land, and he thought: "l wonder if there's any gold here?"

He went away and bought a shovel, then he returned and started to dig. But he was a lazy sort of man, and he gave up after an hour. . . then he put his land on the market and sold it.

The next man who arrived decided to do some digging too, but he wasn't lazy, and soon he had dug a really deep hole. The sun came up and the day grew hot, but this man kept working. He sweated, he toiled, and he puffed, but he wouldn't give up. And then, finally, at the bottom of the hole, he found gold!

Which of these two men worked with ALL his heart? The second man. Which of these two men deserved to find the gold? The second man. His extra effort, and his unwillingness to give up even when things were difficult, paid off.

The Christian life, and Bible study, are like this. We only get out of them what we put in. Lazy Christians receive very little. Diligent Christians find great rewards.

The Bible says: "And you shall seek me, and find Me, when you shall search for me with all your heart" Jeremiah 29:13 (King James Version)
