We’re right to expect big things from God. Unfortunately, we often look for those big things in all the wrong places. Through history, God has demonstrated that he is Lord of the small, taking what seems very little and making it the seed of something big. This week we see how God provides a big treasure in a very small shell. Like a priceless pearl in an oyster or a hidden treasure buried underground, the riches of Christ’s kingdom often don’t look like much. And yet, they are valuable because of the price Jesus himself paid in order to secure them for us. As a result, they are offered to us free of charge and are worth giving up everything for in order to have.
