Confiscated Gold

Officials in India are reporting that 24 bars of gold worth $1.2 million were left in a bathroom of a commercial jet airliner. An aircraft maintenance crew found the gold in two bags while the plane was stopped in Kolkata, India. The plane had just arrived from Bangkok, Thailand. However, the gold is believed to have come from the United Arab Emirates.

Jesus warned that earthly treasures are apt to fade away or be stolen (Matthew 6:19). I guess we had better add to the list that you might mistakenly leave them on an airplane!

“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”—Matthew 6:20-21.
