Hidden Treasures

In the book of Matthew 13v44, Jesus is teaching in a parable talking about  the Kingdom of God.  He says it is like a hidden treasure. Many  people do not know the benefits found  in the Kingdom of God  because they are hidden, only revealed to those who choose to understand it fully .

The owner who sold the field

The owner of this field did not realise that he had treasures in his field and he sold it, sometimes we belong to the Kingdom of God with all the resources around us but we fail to see it or we do not know how to utilise it.

Jesus teachings on the Kingdom shows that the Kingdom principles are revealed to few people,those who have taken time to understand it. However he does not hide the teachings to those who oppose him like the pharisees. He said though they hear but they do not understand.  We can hear stuff on daily basis but it takes another effort to understand it. The problem with the pharisees is that they did not believe Jesus at all, therefore did not make an effort to ask Jesus to explain further the meaning of the parables.

Many of us Christian we don't spend much time to discover the hidden treasures in the Kingdom of God, we are  citizens and believers but we don't claim all the benefits entitled to us. The one who purchased this field in the story of Jesus realised that what he had was nothing compared to treasures hidden in the field.

May God give us understanding of his principles so that we discover all our benefits in the Kingdom of God
