Enjoyed the sermon this morning from
Matthew 13.
44 “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.
45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. 46 When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.
I had heard it preached that we sell all we have to receive/buy salvation, and most recently heard it preached the not only was the treasure (Salvation) worth getting but the
whole field was needed (all the bells and whistles.)
But this morning I heard it preached that we are the treasure in the field, and we are the pearl of great value. Christ literally gave his all to purchase us!
Some question what would give us such value? The answer is the purchaser - the one who was willing to pay the price.
I find it comforting to know I won't come up short. I offer nothing. Jesus paid it all!
