Don’t Trash the Treasure


            Stephan Breitwiser is a convicted French art thief. Moving throughout Europe, he stole 239 works of art valued at over $1.4 billion. Authorities followed his trail and made an arrest.
            Hearing of her son’s arrest, Breitwieser's mother located some of the paintings. Intending to protect her son, she systematically began to carve up the paintings and shred them in her garbage disposal.
            She threw archeological artifacts such as vases and pottery into a local river. Later, a Swiss police officer was quoted as saying, "[N]ever have so many old masters been destroyed at the same time."
            Hebrews celebrates the glory of Christ’s salvation. Unfortunately, some Christians were throwing it away. Never trash the treasure of God’s salvation.
