The Parable Of The Treasure – Figuratively Speaking

This message is about the parable of the treasure.

Matthew 13:44-46 (GW)
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure buried in a field. When a man discovered it, he buried it again. He was so delighted with it that he went away, sold everything he had, and bought that field.
Also, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant who was searching for fine pearls.
When he found a valuable pearl, he went away, sold everything he had, and bought it.

1) Hidden treasure

2) Expensive transaction

3) Untainted joy

4 Quick Insights

1) The transaction cost everything

2) Apparently could not have both

3) All he had was all that was required

4) Some things are so valuable as to render cost irrelevant
