Is Jesus just a ticket, or is he the treasure in the field?

I've heard a string of pastors recently giving calls of warning to their churches about the assurance of their salvation. I think it's based on a very simple question that everyone needs to ask themselves? Is Jesus just a ticket? With a wellspring of health, wealth, and prosperity gospel preachers flooding the airwaves and bookstores in America, the danger is that far too many people treat Jesus as a ticket to their true heart's treasures, instead of seeing Jesus as the one and only treasure. This John Piper sermon clip sums it up well:



I wonder what the world would be like if everyone who claimed to be a Christian, treasured Christ alone!
