Real Treasure

Passage: Matthew 13:44-52

Preacher: Rob Holster

Series: Gospel of the Kingdom

Summary:

We continue the Parables of the Kingdom Sunday from Matthew 13. So far, Jesus has spoken these parables to a crowd of people––some believers, some who don't believe, but are interested what Jesus had to say. This week we turn to the ones he spoke to the twelve disciples––his closest followers. What's interesting about the parables is that even those closest to Jesus had a hard time understanding what he meant. We have the same problem today. These are difficult because Jesus is communicating a divine truth to people who think like humans. Last week it was weeds and mustard seeds, with a little leaven thrown in. This week it's hidden treasure, a pearl, and a net. I want to emphasize the treasure part because we need to understand what the real treasure is. We place value on many things in life, but do we value this real treasure? So much that we'd be willing to give up everything to have it?
