Every time I hear this story, I can’t help but look upon Esau and see him as one of the most foolish men in the Bible! Esau did not have to sell off all he had to obtain the “treasure” or “pearl” of God’s blessings he only had to accept that which God had already given him. Lest we think too low of Esau and too high of ourselves, I wonder what we as Christians are doing with all the blessings God offers us? The Bible states God has provided us with “every spiritual blessing in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3). These are the kinds of blessings that are of infinite value for they are provided by a sovereign God whose generosity is not limited, not even by our imaginations (4:20)! For those who turn to Him God promises that his/her chains of sin will be broken (1 John 1:9; Hebrews 12:1), and death will lose its sting for while flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 15:50, 55) a redeemed masterpiece of His grace certainly can and will (John 1:12; 3:16)! Despite all the glorious riches being offered to us can we truly say that the treasures of our hearts reflect a genuine motivation to give up that which we cannot keep, to obtain that which we cannot lose? The following sermon is going to review Hebrews 12:18-29 in order to help remind us not only of the infinite value of our blessings in Christ but also the warning that the tears of the foolish on that final day will not be able to put out the consuming fire of God!
