Kingdom Treasure.

Mat 13:44  Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 

Sell all that you have.

If we sell all that we have to buy something else, that something else must be worth a lot to us, right? I most certainly would not sell all my possessions on a gamble, but I might for a sure thing. Notice how I said, might. This is how awful possessions can be in our lives. I know you possibly will shake your head and say, "Only crazy people taken over by cults or delusion would sell all their possessions and be left with nothing."  And you know what? You're right. We are never being asked to sell all that we have in exchange for nothing. The parable above tells of a man finding a treasure, a hidden treasure that no one knows about. He discovers this treasure in a field that is for sale. Quickly he hides the fact he found a treasure in that field. Obviously it isn't a treasure he can simply dig up and take away to hide among his other possessions. This treasure has to be too big to cart away undetected, or even detected. I know if I found a small treasure in a field it would be very easy for me to just take that small treasure with me when I left the field, I would not need to buy the whole field.

This man hides the treasure he finds, most likely by reburying it and making things look as normal as possible so no one else can get to the treasure. He hides it from everyone. Then he goes and takes everything he owns worth anything and begins to sell it all. Once he's done selling everything he owns he takes that money and buys the field. He buys that field knowing there is a treasure there greater than all his former possessions.

The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure hid in a field. 

The worth of the Kingdom of Heaven is so great we should do all we can- sell all the obstacles in our way in order to obtain that treasure.  When the man bought the field, he bought the hidden treasure with the field. We need to seek first…

Mat_6:33  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness

Seeking the Kingdom of Heaven because it is the greatest treasure in existence worth more than everything we could ever own - more than the richest person in the entire world could ever own - this is how precious the Kingdom of Heaven is.

The Kingdom of Heaven- found in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Lord please help me to understand this parable so that I may cherish the Kingdom of Heaven and comprehend its worth. Please, open my heart and mind which are so clouded with my inane worries. Please, don't let Satan have his way in my life as he seeks to devour me to keep me from You. Help me to trust in You for all things. Please, Lord, save me! Please, Lord, I long for the Kingdom of Heaven-  Your righteousness! You!
