The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up.  Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.                            –Matthew 13:44-46 in the English Standard Version (ESV)

And in “The Message” it goes:
“God’s kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field for years and then accidentally found by a trespasser. The finder is ecstatic—what a find!—and proceeds to sell everything he owns to raise money and buy that field.

Or, God’s kingdom is like a jewel merchant on the hunt for excellent pearls. Finding one that is flawless, he immediately sells everything and buys it.”

 

As part of our Faith to Sight program we are trying to equip and envision you towards prevailing and concerted prayer for God’s mission in and through our church.  Please take the time now to text the message cccf2s to the number 83990.  You’ll receive prayer reminders noonish on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.  Thanks, Rob

 

“While I regarded God as a tyrant I thought my sin a trifle; But when I knew Him to be my Father, then I mourned that I could ever have kicked against Him.  When I thought God was hard, I found it easy to sin; but when I found God so kind, so good, so overflowing with compassion, I smote upon my breast to think that I could ever have rebelled against One who loved me so, and sought my good.”
–C. Spurgeon
