Matthew 13:44 NKJV
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and hid; and for joy over it, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
Matthew 13:44 NKJV
There are so many messages preached and taught about this passage of how precious and how persistent we need to be if we want something in regards to life.
This is Jesus revealing His heart, His plans and finally He finished what was required of Him to manifest the plan. We are the treasure that was lost, hidden under sin and darkness.
But Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, sees us more precious than what He has. He gave up not only His throne and His power, but He was made of no reputation and became the scapegoat, a criminal, where the world's sins were judged on Him.
Jesus gave up everything to have us. He gave up His glory just to have us in His arms.
He came and purchased us to be His own and made His dwelling in us so that our eternal life can begin even before we die.
This makes each one of us the most precious possessions that our heavenly Father owns.
Never let anything steal that from us. For we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image and likeness.
Welcome Jesus into our lives so that we can become His precious children and fellowship with Him as His own children.
Let us not forget we have been bought by the most precious blood and by the most high God.
Blessings,
Ps Ambrose
