Jun 13, 2014 · The heaven of the age to come, the Treasure of treasures, will be God himself — knowing and being with the One from whom all blessings flow. Jesus himself said, “this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent” (John 17:3). And Paul expressed his deepest longings like this: “I have ...
Jun 3, 2017 · Having Jesus As Our Greatest Treasure. Philippians 3:7 – I once thought these things were valuable, but now I consider them worthless because of what Christ has done. 8 Yes, everything else is worthless when compared with the infinite value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have discarded everything else, counting it all as ...

Jesus said in Matthew 13:44, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” Clearly, the treasure in this parable is identified as the “kingdom”—the rule of Christ, both in future glory and in the King’s present power and fellowship...
Two realities give this sentence its force. First, he sells “all that he has” in order to have the treasure. The point is not that you can buy Christ. The point is that he is worth more than all you own—or could own. Second, he sells everything with “joy.” In other words, the “sacrifices” we endure in taking Christ as our treasure are in fact no sa...
The little parable of Matthew 13:44 is applied by Jesus in Luke 14:33. There Jesus says, “Any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.” Here the kingdom language has fallen away. The message is riveted on Jesus himself. If we do not find him more valuable than all our possessions, we cannot be his disciples. Jesus mad...
Again, Jesus drives home the message in Matthew 10:37: “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.” The “love” in view here is not the kind of love God shows in dying for his unworthy enemies (Rom. 5:8). This is the kind of love that family members have for th...
I think it is fair to say that flowing through all four Gospels is a river that irrigates everything with its vitality. The river may be called “the unsearchable riches of Christ” (Eph. 3:8)—or more precisely, Christ, our immeasurably valuable treasure. Christ is present in Scripture not mainly as a dispenser of gifts to be cherished, though he is ...
Jun 26, 2024 · He is the Treasure hidden in the field worthy of selling all to have. Eternal life is to know him, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom he has sent (John 17:3). You were made not only for God, but for the God-man, for Jesus, who loved us and gave himself up for us and rose again to be our living, knowable, enjoyable King.
Nov 23, 2015 · Well, if Jesus isn’t a better treasure, a higher treasure, you are not worthy of Jesus. I had a teacher in college who made me read a book called Situation Ethics . The argument was made (and every student seemed to be so wowed by it): Love cannot be an emotion or an affection because it is commanded, and you can’t command the emotions.

Sep 21, 2022 · One thing 1 John 3:16 teaches about Christ’s character is his willingness to lay down his life. He didn’t have to do it, he chose to do it. This speaks volumes to the mindset we should have when it comes to laying down our lives for others. We should not see it as a “have to,” where we do this begrudgingly; we should see it as a “want ...
