'The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. Even the Jewish people themselves misunderstand it to a large degree. He is telling us that it is worth more than everything else. Instead, they are a call for us to desire the kingdom above all else. But there would be one kind of heart in which the seed would grow up into a harvest and produce fruit. These are underwater animals that live inside of a shell. He felt the condemnation of a righteous God. Let me ask you to think that the true treasure for a man lies in the kingdom of God. He ended them, and then he said to the people, "The kingdom of God shall be taken from you and given to a nation that will bring forth the fruits of it," (Matthew 21:43). which is to be understood not in an ill sense, as the man hid his talent in a napkin, and in the earth; but in a good sense, and designs his care of it; his laying it up in his heart, that he might not lose it, and that it might not be taken away from him: and for joy thereof; Whatever the reason he was there, he found an amazing treasure, maybe similar to the emeralds. Satan has a shoot of iniquity for every shoot of grace; and, when God revives his work, Satan revives his also. (Clarke), iii.

Jesus said, I have come so they can have life. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers. Matthew 13, verse 44: "In his joy, he went and sold all he had and bought that field." These two short parables tell the story of the whole Bible. Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field. There is nothing that even compares to a loving relationship with the Creator of the universe! He went into the city riding upon an ass in fulfillment of the prophecy of Zechariah, "Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on an ass, on a colt the foal of an ass," (Matthew 21:5, Zechariah 9:9). Their hearts receive the message of the kingdom, and the seed takes root and produces lots of spiritual fruit. But these last three were spoken only to the men of faith, the disciples, who were ready to believe what God said. By that he indicated that the privilege of demonstrating the grace of God would he taken from Israel and given to the church. c. The enemy who sowed them is the devil: Clearly, the enemy plants counterfeits in the world and in the kingdom community, and this is why merely being a member of the Christian community isnt enough.

Now that is God's plan for the nations -- to provide a working model in the nation Israel. These were men of the Word, and when our Lord spoke this parable, they would clearly remember the words of Exodus19. In this series Jesus is revealing the work of the kingdom as it is going on throughout the centuries of this present age since his first coming and before his return. So it will be at the end of the age: There will be both the wicked and the just until the end of the age (as also demonstrated in the previous parable of the wheat and the tares). This congressman said that Congress is really wrestling with this issue. Application: The point of these two parables is the great value of being a part of Gods kingdom.

The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl. Before we read the parable, I want to tell you another true story. The man who finds the treasure does not simply take it. Through the pages of the Word of God we are afforded tremendous insights into life. Yet it can also be asked out of deep appreciation of the fact that the Son of God took such a noble, lowly place. Notice that there are two things in this story which are immediately recognizable because we have had them before. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls. And like the first parable, the man gladly gave up everything he owned to get the pearl. It was hidden when our Lord came. All this has happened exactly as our Lord said and all of it is visible in history. But in this parable, the man was actively looking for the treasure. Years ago I was struck by the closing words of a great address that Winston Churchill gave at Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1950: What prizes lie before all the people if they are worthy of them: peace, food, happiness, leisure, wealth for the masses never known nor dreamed of, the glorious advance into a period of rest and safety for all the hundreds of millions of homes where little children play by the fire, and girls grow up in all their beauty, and young men strive and win in the free enterprise of life. This is what Paul tells us in the ninth, tenth, and eleventh chapters of Romans. Say: Pearls come from oysters. And now, lastly, let us look at the point where the parables converge. When our Lord covered the treasure over it was hidden completely in the field of humanity again. He hideth - That is, he conceals the fact that he has found it; he does not tell of it. Read full chapter. b. Or maybe the field was for sale and the man was looking it over before deciding whether to buy it. He found one that was very valuable. He is saying that you should be willing to. So did Jesus himself, at the utmost cost, buy the world to gain his church, which was the treasure which he desired. (Spurgeon), Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.. But we need to recognize that the parable of the treasure hidden in the field is the first of a series of three which our Lord gave in connection with the other four and on the same day, but, as Matthew is careful to tell us, he gave these to the disciples alone after they had gone back into the house. Yet they do, and are worthy of respect because of that role. In this parable, we learned that different people hear Gods truth and accept it in different ways. Some time ago, in addressing a crowd of 2,500 delegates from 57 countries of the world who were trying to find some way to world peace, he said these remarkable words: "What element is lacking so that with all our skill and all our knowledge we still find ourselves in the dark valley of discord and enmity? (Matthew 13:44). Click to enable/disable Google reCaptcha.

He would be really endeavoring to gain property belonging to another at far less than its real value, and the principle of real integrity would require him to inform the owner of the discovery. I want to read these twin parables of the hidden treasure and the pearl of great price because they link so closely together, although we will look only at the first one this morning. When problems come, they forget all about Gods word. (Romans 11:11-14 RSV), For if their rejection means the reconciIiation of the world, what will their acceptance mean but life from the dead? Both men GLADLY, JOYFULLY gave up everything else to claim their new found treasure. He knew that the treasure was better than his home and his belongings. It always reminds me immediately of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island, of Long John Silver, and doubloons and pieces-of-eight, pegleg pirates, and all the exciting things usually associated with the idea of buried treasure. And for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field: The treasure so wonderful that Jesus would give all to purchase is the individual believer. And as we go through life we are the people who some day discover him. Ask: Does anyone know where pearls come from? People bring the same charge against Jesus today; I see those associated with Him, and they seem lowly or very normal; Jesus must also not be special., c. Where then did this Man get all these things: Their reception of Jesus was not welcoming or friendly. III. Now we turn to these three private parables given to the disciples: The parable of the hidden treasure, the parable of the pearl of great price, and the parable of the dragnet. The nation would not have it, would not have him, and they rejected him. God has gathered this nation together again, brought in the people from the outlying countries of the world, gathered his dispersed from the four corners of the earth, and brought them back into the land. Our Lord came and he bought the whole field so that someday he might use the treasure hidden in it to make the world blossom with glory. The previous three parables (the wheat and the tares, the mustard seed, and the leaven) each spoke of corruption in the kingdom community. As we can imagine, he was afraid that when people heard about his discovery, they would sneak onto his land and grab whatever pieces of emerald they could find. That shows how much he valued this pearl of great price, and how much Jesus values His people. The total weight of the emeralds was about 3,300 carats. He states a case where a man would actually "sacrifice his property," and practice diligence and watchfulness to obtain the wealth which he had discovered. b. The parables describe how the kin (g)dom of heaven emerges from something almost invisible to the eye and grows exponentially, offering us sustenance, a treasure worthy of all our attention and resources. The wheat comes into Gods barn from all over the world, from all ranks of society, from all ages of Gods church. How do you find this secret? Next week we will go on to see how this parable ties very closely with the next one, the parable of the pearl of great price. d. The reapers are angels The Son of Man will send out His angels: We often dont consider that the angels of God have a special role in the judgment of the world. This parable likely also fired the imaginations of Jesus' listeners, because it pictures unexpected good fortune. Every scribe instructed concerning the kingdom: Jesus said that everyone who really knows Gods Word both will know the old and learn the new of the kingdom. The passage for this lection offers a counter-image to this destructive force. Click to enable/disable _gid - Google Analytics Cookie. c. He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief: It is truly remarkable that Jesus was, in some manner, limited by their unbelief. Ask: Who can remember the four different soils Jesus talked about? So, through the course of history, there has been a counterfeit Christianity, a sham religion, a phony, a fake, which bears the name of Christianity but which is absolutely false. They fit together but they are not talking about exactly the same thing. When they were cut and polished, they were worth millions of dollars. When he found it, what did he do? The "sea" here is clearly the world, since that is where people are gathered from by the angels (Matt. And he bought that pearl. But I submit to you that that is false, and obviously so. (Just as a comparison, the diamond on a womans wedding ring may be about one-quarter or one-half of a carat.) Jesus is not saying that you must go out and sell everything you own. But the exciting thing about Scripture is that in it we are always dealing with fact, not fancy. If you have that, you are rich; if you do not possess it, you are poor. I. 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. Main Point: The Kingdom of God is worth far more than anything else. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field. But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while.

I was reminded by that conversation of the words of the Secretary General of the United Nations, UThant. He refused to go into the capital city again until his appointed hour had come. Usually people take it to mean that God has chosen the Jews for a special destiny, to mean that they are to have special and uniquely privileged treatment, different than any other nation enjoys. But such is not the case; God did not choose Israel for that purpose. ii. (Matthew 23:37, Luke 13:34). One pearl of great price: It seems crazy for a merchant to sell all that he had for one pearl, but for this merchant it was well worth it. Then he covered it over again when it was rejected by the people. But in our own time we are facing an amazing wonder, one of the most remarkable things that has ever taken place in the annals of men, and one of the most dramatic demonstrations of the truth of the Word of God! The kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field. He was very happy. As time goes on, the sand is coated with more and more layers of this coating.

Though they are surrounded and ringed by enemies armed to the teeth who are vowing to wipe every Jew off the face of the earth, Nevertheless, as is obvious, they do not understand the secret of their own life and are trying to produce peace and stability by democratic methods and consensus and compromise. The main idea is that the disciples who had just claimed to understand what Jesus taught are now responsible to bring forth their understanding to others, as if they were distributing from the storehouse of their wisdom and understanding. Our heavenly Father, how we thank you for the marvelous truth that you, Lord, have bought the world, that it belongs to you, and that you shall some day rule and reign in power and glory in its midst and all your promises shall be fulfilled. Assuming that the disciples did understand, they had an advantage over many among the multitudes. They have not found it yet. The nation's glory was gone. But Jesus said to them, A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own house. Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Magistrates and churches may remove the openly wicked from their society; the outwardly good who are inwardly worthless they must leave; for the judging of hearts is beyond their sphere.
