After the eccentric billionaire, Howard Hughes, died, secluded in a Las Vegas penthouse,
a handwritten "last will and testament" surfaced -- of all places, in the Salt Lake city
offices of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. The unattested, uncertified,
and unnotarized document left millions of dollars to someone Hughes claimed, in the
controversial multi-page document, had once befriended him. Members of the Hughes
family, unfamiliar with the individual named as beneficiary, and convinced their relative
had died mentally incompetent, challenged the "Mormon Will" in court. It was never
honored and the intended recipient, deserving or not, never collected a nickel.
There is no such risk with the inheritance promised us by Christ. The writer of Ephesians assures us that we have already received it, and it's worth a billion times more than anything we might have been promised from any billionaire, eccentric or otherwise.
