Greatest of Treasures

Scripture: Matthew 13:44-58 Click here for the reading
Picture
Observation: Jesus continues to teach from parables.  Now he uses the image of buried treasure.  The treasure of the kingdom of heaven is immeasurable but for now it is even veiled from seeing fully.


Application: The thing about treasure is that its value is only known to those who can hold it in their hands.  Its joy is only known to those who have a tangible aspect of its value.  It is the same of those who find this treasure and respond to it in discipleship.  Those who begin to experience the wonder and mystery of the kingdom's presence know the reality of the treasure we have found.


Prayer: Lord help us to make the treasure that is your kingdom our priority in life and to see it for its precious worth.
