WHAT IS THE GREATEST TREASURE YOU COULD EVER DESIRE IN LIFE
Col 3:1-3 Chapter 3 1 IF THEN you have been raised with Christ [to a new life, thus sharing His resurrection from the dead], aim at and seek the [rich, eternal treasures] that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. [Ps 110:1.] 2 And set your minds and keep them set on what is above (the higher things), not on the things that are on the earth. 3 For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.

24 For he thoughtfully observes himself, and then goes off and promptly forgets what he was like.
