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).
Oct 14, 2015 · Jesus must have not been telling the truth when He promised life “to the full” (John 10:10), or that “rivers of living water will flow from within” (John 7:38).

Jun 3, 2017 · Lord Jesus, as I meditate on the Apostle Paul’s words, I smell the aroma of a free man, a joyful man, and a grace-man—a man I want to become more like. Things he once treasured became Paul’s “garbage.” Old stuff that used to consume him, no longer even amused him.

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).

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 ...
Jul 23, 2024 · The Parable of the Hidden Treasure reveals much about the nature and value of heaven. Jesus taught, “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field” (Matthew 13:44). Although brief, this parable illuminates several significant ...
Nov 22, 2021 · Jesus says, “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also,” meaning that we will centre our lives around what we value most. If we prioritize the wrong things, our lives will go off the rails.
