The Hidden Treasure and the Treasure Field
Matthew 13:44│ The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in afield, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
World history is a record of victors and usually an account of powerful nations. Looking back through history, it may appear that the present has advanced, but in reality, spiritual problems have become worse. Those historic victors and powerful nations might have conquered others, but they were spiritually ignorant. Christ alone is God’s complete answer. How can you find the treasure that yields this mystery and take possession of that treasure field?
1. The Identity and Authority of Those Who Have the
Treasure Field of the Gospel The blood of the lamb that freed the Israelites from Egyptian slavery was the Israelites true treasure. Returning from Babylonian captivity and rebuilding the temple was the path of finding the treasure as well. The believers of the Early Church were colonized by Rome, but they refused to worship the emperor and confessed Jesus as their Master. You must be able to enjoy your identity and authority as someone who possesses
that treasure.
2. Have Assurance of the Future Treasure Field in the Gospel
and Challenge After the farmer discovered the treasure field, he sold his entire property and bought it. Likewise, those who confess Jesus as their Master can be confident of their future. God has given you all authority to make disciples of all nations.Matthew 28:16~20 In addition, He gave signs to share the Gospel to all people.Mark 16:15~18 Furthermore, He gave the command to become a witness of Christ to the end of the earth.Acts 1:8 The true treasure that you possess is not a treasure of the world that is momentary, but it’s the Gospel of life that can never be taken away. God will open your eyes and ears and surely give you correct faith and true power.
